Border Collie Rescue - Foot and Mouth Rescue

Description: In 2001 Border Collie Rescue ran a unique scheme with government approval to rescue Border Collies and sheepdogs from infected farms in the UK. Working under licence with MAFF, and later DEFRA, we attended farms that had been culled and disinfected and removed dogs that were made jobless by the cull. This is a short video about that time.

dogmanjohnsykes ::: Favorites Very moving and informative. I didn't realise this was happening at the time. WELL DONE BORDER COLLIE RESCUE. 07-06-19 13:46:13 _____________________________________________________
BorderCollieRescueUK ::: Favorites A lot of people were unaware of the less obvious repercussions of the way Foot and Mouth was handled. We did our bit in the way we could help, but millions of animals died for 'economic' reasons. Let's hope we have all learned something from the experience. 07-06-30 04:51:23 _____________________________________________________
JurisDocster ::: Favorites Thank you Mr. Johnson and Mr. Benfield for taking Ted and Boz. What a waste that would be if these dogs could not herd sheep again. That is such a tragedy for the farmers in the epidemic. We raise sheep and Angora goats in Texas and these dogs are worth their weight in gold. Thank you for Border Collie Rescue, UK. Sometimes what we do in our lives on this earth makes a difference. You make a difference. 07-06-22 19:50:58 _____________________________________________________
BorderCollieRescueUK ::: Favorites Very kind of you to say that. The Border Collie is designed to herd and it is such a waste of talent and energy when a good working dog is deprived of the opportunity. Many of the 'unwanted' and hyperactive pets we take in would have been sane and well balanced dogs if they had been allowed to do what they were bred for. The breed does make a good companion dog if the individual lacks the instinct and drive to work. Otherwise it is often a disaster for the dog and owner. 07-06-30 04:55:49 _____________________________________________________
