Thanks BMR, that is how I took your comment, but wanted it to be very clear in case someone misunderstood.

The story about problems in China could be any living critter, with no real distinction, other than the term "livestock", as I read it.

I well recall how cattle markets plummeted a few years ago over RUMORS of "suspicion" of a bovine critter "frothing at the mouth" in a NE sale barn!
