Hi Rebekah,<br>Thanks for your support. Are you
keeping up with the<br>latest in the USA on the RHD saga?
Some rabbit people<br>there believe the USDA is losing
interest in trying<br>to find the source of the outbreaks
(there have been three) and it is suspected<br>RHD is
coming in to the USA on frozen rabbit meat! There are no
vaccines to<br>protect rabbits from RHD or Myxo in the USA
I believe,<br>so all those 5 million pet rabbits
and more are at<br>risk from outbreaks of RHD that
could occur there at any time.<br>The USA has the
funding that could allow them to make<br>a clean vaccine
against RHD that didn't use virus<br>extracted from
deliberately infected rabbits as seed<br>stock. This would be
great for all pet rabbits but<br>whether the USA will
seek to make a vaccine<br>will depend on the pressure
put<br>on the American Government by pet rabbit people in
the<br>USA. Hope you are well and thanks for supporting
the<br>cause of stopping the use of deadly diseases to
kill<br>animals.<br><br>Kind regards,<br><br>Marguerite<br><br><br>Please
