Lewiston Idaho Veterinarian's Letter to the Editor re: Ebola,

The present Ebola crisis in the world is frightening. I have submitted the
following letter to the editor of the Lewiston Morning Tribune:

Editor, Lewiston Morning Tribune:

If I wish to import a horse into the United States from Liberia or any
African country other than Morocco , the horse needs to undergo a 60 day
quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling
with the general population of horses in this country. Africa has a
disease called African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the US ; this
is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse Sickness
does not cause disease in people, only horses; our government has
determined that it would be devastating to the US horse industry if it
were to come here.

The United States (and virtually all other countries) require a myriad of
tests and often quarantine prior to bringing in a foreign animal.

I can’t legally cross state lines in the United States with a horse or cow
without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian
stating that the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious
disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact I can’t
legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in Idaho without a health
certificate and a negative blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia.

I’m not complaining; the United States of America , the States of Idaho
and Washington as well as the other 48 states take the health of our
livestock very seriously, and we have a very good record at keeping
foreign animal diseases out of our country. I am happy to do my part to
maintain biosecurity in our animal population.

If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the United States
all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie when asked if I have
been exposed to Ebola. Within hours (no quarantine required) I can be
walking the streets of any city in the United States .

I feel very fortunate to live in a country that values our animals so
highly.

David A. Rustebakke, DVM

Those in charge now view us as a herd and they'd love to kill off about 75% of us.
Doing 6 or 10 percent at a time is ok with them too.
Point is the globalist agenda sees an earth that can sustain less than a billion people. They want to arrange that lower number.
With them the extra billions will doom us all(so they think) so they are serious about wiping out a few billion.. Bring in Ebola Obama is one of their puppets.... A Fact..--Tyr
