Los ganaderos del Reino Unido, en las negociaciones con la Unión Europea comienzan apostando muy fuerte, como si le diera igual a los ganaderos europeos que sus productos entren en la Unión Europea.

"Los agricultores del Reino Unido presionaron al gobierno por el controvertido uso de antibióticos"

"Los patrones agrícolas presionaron al gobierno del Reino Unido en un intento de evitar reglas más estrictas en torno al uso de antibióticos en las granjas ganaderas, a pesar de los riesgos que algunas prácticas plantean para la salud pública."

"Los antibióticos se utilizan comúnmente en las granjas para combatir la propagación de enfermedades que pueden costarles a los animales su salud– y a los agricultores su dinero. Pero su uso se ha relacionado con el aumento de superbacterias resistentes a los medicamentos “”, incluidas variantes de salmonela y E. coli – que contaminan los alimentos, enferman a las personas y son cada vez más difíciles de tratar."

"Los documentos que hemos obtenido muestran que la Unión Nacional de Agricultores’ (NFU) instó a los funcionarios a no adoptar regulaciones más estrictas en las conversaciones con la UE sobre un nuevo acuerdo comercial para productos animales."

"La NFU argumentó que se necesitan antibióticos para proteger la salud y el bienestar animal, y que normas más estrictas amenazarían la capacidad del Reino Unido para “autorregular” su uso."

"Los activistas, por otro lado, dicen que los medicamentos a menudo se utilizan como un atajo para compensar las condiciones insalubres en las que se mantienen algunos animales de granja.'

"🦠🚨Virus theft raises alarms in São Paulo state

In the current climate, the last thing anyone needed was a story about scientists sneaking virus samples out of a high-security lab. Well, that’s just happened in Brazil.

Federal Police this week arrested Soledad Miller, an Argentine-born researcher affiliated with the University of Campinas (Unicamp, one of Latin America’s most prestigious universities), on suspicion of stealing biological samples from the university's virology lab. The material had been missing for 40 days. It turned out to be located no more than around 350 meters away, spread across three university labs where Miller had no authorized access.

Miller's husband, Michael Edward Miller — a veterinarian pursuing a doctorate in genetics and molecular biology at Unicamp — is also under investigation, though authorities have not specified his alleged role. The couple co-owns a biotech company called Agrotrix Biotech Solutions. Her defense has said she did not commit theft, arguing she was merely using borrowed lab space because she lacked her own."
