Pat's Note: Although, I'm sure they would want more  money, the Dutch
don't seem to be suffering unduly from admitting they had MRSA in
their pigs and pig people, years ago.

Their scientists even flew to the US and warned the Americans and the
world of what they had discovered, before they were even peer
reviewed.

They took sensible precautions in good time, including telling the
truth promptly and moving on to protect the people and the hospitals.

You can find all this in the archives of the newsgroup
uk.business.agriculture fully searchable through Google Groups.

The Dutch have even been buying up Britain's beleaguered pig
industry.

Who screwed up in Britain?

Britain's bent government vets. That's who.

Dutch pigmeat prices highest in months// 22 Jul 2008

Prices for pigs in the Netherlands have reached the highest quotes in
months – and further rises, even record-breaking, are thought to be
likely.

This week and last week, pork processor Vion paid €1.65 for 1 kg
slaughterweight. As there are limited supplies, further rises are
expected – some even predict prices up to €1.90/kg, which would be
even higher than 2001. 

In that year, supplies were limited due to the outbreak of
Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD).

Euphoria is somewhat limited however, due to high feed costs.
