Dr Twidale is quoted in the Province article, saying, "The only option left to farmers was to bury their dead stock on their own farms. Such a practice is dangerous, says Dr. John Twidale of the B.C. Veterinary Medical Association, because it could lead to ground water contamination from the often toxic euthanasia drugs contained within the corpses."
And yet many vets in BC do just this when they dispose of euthanized bodies at landfills.
Please bring this to the attention of the Hon Bill Barisoff, The Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection, when you write your letter.
