no Dave,
you are the one that is talking me down. Have you even stopped for one minute or even second before you "put your foot down"?
You compare CAE with AIDS and yes, it's a slow-working retrovirus like the HIV-virus. And I believe that you are old enough to remember the AIDS histeria in the 80s and 90s and how much the first victims suffered - often not from the disease but from the people around them. And that there was a time when strategies in dealing with the real and imagined dangers where developed.
And it sure would be great if "cull or seperate" would become a piece of the past in the goat world because the goats that carry the CAE-virus deserve a chance for treatment, too. Which won't happen until goat owners are willing to think outside the established lines of though.
Nanno: huffy is it? I thought years about sharing my experiences with the CAE-treatment and even asked Larry if he would be interested in posting something in Goattracks. Don't think he ever did after receiving my article. Because I knew that I would face critique. But I kept the hope that it would also spark a discussion about current handling of CAE goats and owners fears to even hear the word "CAE-positive".
