Show IMPORTING DISEASE. Have the officials of Utah connected with our state Institutions been victimized by the cattle owners of other states? Government experts in tuberculosis have condemned a big percentage of the animals in the dairy herds of four of our state institutions, while outside those herds the number of infected animals discovered has been almost unworthy of mention. The government officials do not hesitate to say that the state officials have been imposed upon. If there is to be any more buying of "prize" stock outside the state, some one should be held responsible for the purchases. There is a double offense committed in these importations that of wasting the people's money and endangering all the livestock of Utah by the presence of a destructive disease. Why is there no certificate of health required with the purchases of these animals? |
