The Anglo-German Pig War
Some frightening
news was
once released
when rabies hit the
German East:
.
. .
The German Forestry Commission
was given veterinary permission
to send the carcasses of foxes
in special oak and pine-tree boxes
to farmers in financial need
as
concentrated piglet feed.
. . .
The Germans
put all doubts aside
until a lot of pigs had died
of some disease
called PFC
which caused a national
tragedy .
. . .
In Downing
Street they made provisions
for crucial national decisions.
And British threats are not
just talk
they
put a ban on German pork .
.
. .
Today the press announced relieved
that things were not as one believed:
.
. .
lt was not fatal
PFC
but
only harmless BSE.
.
. .
(PFC = Porcular Forunculous Corosis )
