Literally killing millions of livestock to isolate the spread.
Not to say there aren't better ways.
Life finds a way. It's hard.

- Terr_ 2y ago"If my neighbor is affected too, then they won't be able to undercut me in price later..." Even if that scenario is very rare, it's interesting to think of how dramatically these discussions would change if we had perfect forensic knowledge for tracing the complex blame/liability.
