I am very concerned about my horses getting this flu. I just read an article that in England the companies that insure race horse are saying they will not pay out if the horses die of bird flu. My barn always have bird making nest inside...we don't know how to keep them out. Bird poop is everywhere. We recently put shield around their feed areas to try to keep them clean. |

They just stopped taking on racehorse cover for BF:
U.K. insurers pull racehorse cover for bird flu Posted on March 09, 2006 12:28 PM CST LONDON (Reuters)—U.K. insurance underwriters are refusing to cover thoroughbred horses against bird flu, for fear that an epidemic among horses could potentially cost them tens of millions of pounds. Bloodstock underwriters at Lloyd's of London, who insure racing and competition horses, are introducing exclusions to their policies to protect themselves against claims if thoroughbred horses die from a mutated version of bird flu. When does that extend to people? Anyone tried insuring their granny recently? |

I asked admin to combine the two threads.
A little bit early for bringing them inside the house! How often do you do that anyway!!! I think that is just the insurance industry being in front of the crowd when TSHTF. Lloyds of London nearly went broke several years ago for not reacting quick enough. I think though, that if you were going to insure someone/yourself/etc. You should be doing it now before they restrict it for BF. Getting Life insurance is going to be tough once the pandemic starts. |
