EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and haunting image captured by Mirrorpix, we are transported back to the devastating Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak of November 1967. The photograph depicts a herd of majestic pedigree Friesian cows, patiently waiting on a farm at Bagley near Oswestry. Little did they know that their fate had already been sealed. These cows belonged to the renowned Bromley herd, painstakingly built up over half a century with love and dedication. Their bloodlines represented generations of careful breeding and meticulous selection. However, in the face of this merciless disease, all their beauty and heritage would count for naught. The somber atmosphere is palpable as these innocent creatures stand together in quiet resignation. Their eyes betray fear and uncertainty as they await their inevitable slaughter - an unimaginable tragedy for both the animals themselves and those who had nurtured them throughout the years. This poignant photograph serves as a stark reminder of the fragility inherent in our relationship with nature. It highlights not only the devastating impact that diseases like Foot and Mouth can have on agriculture but also underscores our responsibility to protect these vulnerable beings from such horrors. As we reflect upon this moment frozen in time, let us remember those affected by past outbreaks while striving towards better practices that safeguard animal welfare and prevent future tragedies like this one from occurring again.
