Question

Do you think that whole herds should be killed if diseases like mad cow disease are found in some animals in the herd? Why or why not? What considerations would go into this decision to eradicate a herd?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it depends on the situation whether or not to kill a whole herd if mad cow disease is found within a couple animals in the herd. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of this decision because it is a very tough and sad thing. I believe it is proper to put animals out of their misery if needed, but also its important to decide if it is in infected animals’ and the animals around them best interest to euthanize them.
