The second provision, on the intentional release of pathogens, is a concern that animal rights activists from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals helped create when both Bruce Friedrich and Ingrid Newkirk made public statements in 2001 hoping that Great Britain's foot-and-mouth epidemic would afflict farm animals in the United States as well.

Swine can be infected and all ages are susceptible. (iastate.edu)

Glynn Tonsor, collaborating livestock economist with Kansas State University, adds "while many disease-mitigating practices have been developed and identified as effective, to the extent they are only partially used, key opportunities remain to protect the swine industry from disease initiation and persistence further if we can better understand producer investment decisions.
