PrepperIntel - Intelligence reports from preppers around the world
Intelligence reports from preppers around the world.
1. What are you seeing that affects your prepping? Post should be based on something you're actually seeing / experiencing locally. If it is outside of your area / is speculation, prepare to have current and substantial evidence such as multiple and neutral links as to not have the content removed.
2. Post title must have a general description, location / region plus flair. We're not asking or wanting exact locations, just a general idea of where you're talking about in the beginning of the title. It greatly helps people read / filter posts.
3. If your post isn't from your own eyes but affects you, it is encouraged to have evidence. (Links) Recent and up to date links, benefit all and help others understand and contribute to your post.
4. Unconstructive comments may lead to removals or bans. We are here to gather intel, not hate. This includes personal attacks, name calling, pushing politics, religion, racism, sexism, condoning / avocation of violence, trolling, ill will towards others and so on.
5. If you feel that the intel is wrong, link your own recent and relevant intel on the direct subject. If you feel the need to argue back, calmly do so with recent and relevant evidence on the subject. We do not care who you are, or which side you're on, we seek truth and transparency through sheer informational evidence.
If your view isn't backed up, (and at this point likely causing an issue) it may be subject to removal.
User may have a chance to research and find intel to restore their comment after contacting a moderator... Don't make a habit of this.

I totally understand. The virus could literally kill their livelihood, and even the perception that their cattle are unsafe would wipe out their value. I am not unsympathetic to their plight, and if there was a government fund to help mitigate the damage, I fully support that.
But hiding diseased cattle is a crime against humanity. It puts everyone at risk, and implicates all beef and dairy, not just their own herd. People will die, not just cattle, not just businesses, and the entire industry will be suspect. The repercussions of disclosure are that they might lose their farm, so the repercussions of hiding it need to be far worse than merely losing their farm.
There might be some animal rights activists who think that the lives of cows are equal to the lives of humans, but none of them work in the beef or dairy industry. There might be some who believe that human lives are not as important as their business, but those are exactly the people who belong in prison.
That's the whole system we've built. Privatize profits, socialize the costs. It's not different from fossil fuel companies hiding the effect of climate change and pollution.
