Three more cattle farms in Andong,North Gyeongsang Province,were found to have been infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease,Nov.2 2010,Thursday.People fear that livestock farms in other parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon.
On Monday,the disease was first detected on two pig farms in Andong,about half a year after the last disease broke out in Korea.A cattle farm in the area also fell victim to the animal disease the following day.
The Ministry for Food,Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries made sure that three more cases of foot-and-mouth disease appeared on Thursday and decided to kill all the animals at the farms and others at nearby places to stop the spread of the virus to other regions.Over 800 cows and pigs within a 500 meter range of the infected farms were killed and buried underground.
“Three suspected cases were reported Wednesday,near the pig farms where the first outbreak was reported.The laboratory tests today showed that all three cattle farms were infected with the disease,” a ministry official said.Two newly infected cattle farms were less than 4 kilometers away from the two pig farms,while the third one was only 2.5 kilometers away.
The ministry also said another cattle farm in Andong reported suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease on its livestock Thursday,indicating the disease will likely continue to spread across the city and possibly beyond.
The government has culled more than 33,000 animals near the affected farms Monday alone under its disease prevention program.Additionally,all 84 livestock markets across the nation were closed Wednesday for a period to prevent spread of the disease.
No suspected cases have been reported outside of Andong,but the government Thursday decided to destroy an additional 22,000 pigs at two farms in Boryeong,South Chungcheong Province.

Jeffrey Bezos, founder, president and chairman of the board of Amazon.com, was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His mother’s ancestors were early settlers in Texas, and over the generations had acquired a 25,000 acre farm at Cotulla. Jeffrey spent most summers of his youth working with his grandfather on their farm.
Jeffrey showed intense and varied scientific interests at an early age. He set up an electric alarm to keep his younger sisters and brothers out of his room and changed his parents’ garage into a laboratory for his science projects.
After he graduated from Princeton University with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering, Jeffrey Bezos found employment on Wall Street, where computer science was increasingly in demand to study market trends. He rose quickly, becoming a senior vice president, and looked forward to a bright career in finance, when he made a discovery that changed his life, and the course of business history.
In 1994, there was still no internet commerce to speak of. One day that spring, Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2300 percent a year. He saw an opportunity for a new circle of commerce, and immediately began considering the possibilities.
Bezos founded Amazon.com in 1994, setting up the original company in his garage. The company was called Amazon for the seemingly endless South American river with its numberless branches. It started as an online bookstore but soon diversified to all kinds of products. His work with Amazon eventually led him to become one of the most excellent dot-com entrepreneurs. He was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 1999. In 2008, he was selected by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Leaders. Bezos’ Amazon has become “the Earth’s biggest anything store”. Amazon.com is now called “one of the smartest strategies in business history”.
Today, Jeffrey Bezos lives north of Seattle and is increasingly concerned with charity activities. “Giving away money takes as much attention as building a successful company,” he said.
