"We're concerned it may be something that affects both animals and
people," said Douglas Klaucke, the acting World Health Organization
representative in Kenya.

"If that were the case, then it would be something (other) than
malaria," he said.

Lab workers were testing dozens of blood samples from humans and
livestock killed by the mysterious disease that hit remote, flooded
parts of northeastern Kenya. Published reports describe high fever,
diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding from the nose and mouth.

While some victims may have died of malaria, which is endemic in Kenya,
Klaucke said there could be another cause.

"But we just don't know at this point," he said.

Twelve possible diseases were being investigated, including yellow fever
and dengue. Ebola, which also causes its victims to bleed from the mouth
and other orifices, tentatively has been ruled out.

Local reports have said that as many as 217 people have died in flooded
villages around Garissa, 140 miles northeast of Nairobi. Doctors have
been able to confirm only three deaths.

Red Cross officials said 42 people have died in neighboring Somalia, and
specimens were sent to Nairobi for analysis.

Experts have speculated that flooding brought on by El Nino may have
contaminated drinking water and allowed pests that breed in floodwaters
to flourish.

The outbreaks in both countries occurred along rivers, the Ewaso Nyiro
River in Kenya and the Shabelle River in Somalia.

Survey to see if BSE has infected sheep
By David Brown, Agriculture Editor

A NATIONWIDE questionnaire involving 3,500 farms to try to discover
whether BSE has spread to sheep is to be undertaken in the New Year.

Universities, colleges and private companies have been invited by the
Ministry of Agriculture to carry out a postal survey among farmers whose
replies will remain anonymous and confidential. The ministry has
advertised the survey as an exercise in establishing accurate figures on
scrapie, the fatal brain disease of sheep that is believed to have
caused BSE after cattle were fed on rations containing the contaminated
remains of sheep.

But its veterinary scientists are trying to find out whether BSE has
passed into sheep that were also fed the processed remains of sheep and
cattle. The survey will seek information on reported and suspected
scrapie cases on individual farms. The move follows calls from the
European Commission's scientific steering committee on Dec 11 that
mutton and lamb in countries such as Britain with a high incidence of
BSE should be sold only off-the-bone.

In March last year, the Government's independent scientific advisers,
the Spongiform Encephalopathies Advisory Committee, announced a possible
link between BSE and a new variation, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, that
has killed 23 people in Britain. Another victim is critically ill. If
BSE has been passed to sheep, this will pose new public health problems
for ministers, who would have to consider further curbs on mutton and
lamb when sheep farmers are already suffering an economic slump.

So far, there is no evidence but research has been limited. Some
scientists and farmers want to see more brain checks carried out on
sheep at abattoirs. Scrapie has been known for over 200 years but there
is no record of it affecting humans. Some scientists believe that
hundreds of thousands of sheep could be affected by scrapie, which is
widespread in many other countries.

ááááááááááááááááááááá HISTORY OF THE McLIBEL CASE
áááááááááááááááááááááá ------------------------

"It will go down in history as the most expensive and disasterous public
relations exercise ever mounted by a multinational company" according to
Channel 4 News, while Mike Mansfield QC called it "the trial of the century
as it concerns the most important issues that any of us have to face living
our ordinary lives."á This is the 'McLibel' Trial which, after three years
(making it the longest trial in English history), came to an end in June
1997.á It was a victory for campaigners as the judge slammed McDonald's core
business practices, evidence in the trial backed up all the criticisms made
of the company, and the campaign became unstoppable.á

The trial was a mammoth legal battle between the $30 billion a year
McDonald's
Corporation and two North London campaigners (Helen Steel and Dave Morris).
The fast-foodá giant sued them for libel over a 6-sided factsheet entitled
"What's Wrong Withá McDonald's?á Everything they don't want you to know"
which was produced in 1986 by the collective London Greenpeace, the original
Greenpeace group in Europe but independent of the international
organisation.á Helen & Dave were outrageously denied their right to a jury
trial and, with no right to Legal Aid, were forced to conduct their own
defence against McDonald's team of top libel lawyers.á The company called
into the witness box all their big guns from the US and UK - executives,
departmental heads and paid consultants.á It was truly a 'David v Goliath'
battle.

For many years now, McDonald's tactics in the face of criticism have been to
step up their own propaganda efforts to project a green and caring image,
and at the same time to use libel laws to bully and intimidate their critics
into silence.á But when the writs were served on them, Helen & Dave decided
to fight the case, determined not to bow to McDonald's attempt to censor
their critics.á Effectively the tables were turned and it was McDonald's and
their business practices that were on trial.á 180 witnesses from the UK and
abroad gave evidence on the links between diet and ill-health; the
environmental damage caused by mountains of disposable packaging and by
cattle ranching; the effects of advertising on children; the suffering of
animals reared for the food industry; the exploitation of low-paid
non-unionised workers; and the connection between multinational companies
like McDonald's, cash crops and starvation in the third world.á Among those
who testified for Helen & Dave were Professor Colin Campbell (Cornell
University, USA - expert on diet and ill health), experts on deforestation
in Central & South America, Dr Alan Long (animal welfare expert), Stephen
Gardner (former Assistant Attorney General of Texas), and two dozen
ex-employees and trade unionists.á During the trial, McDonald's were so
worried about the way the case was going for them and the bad publicity they
were receiving that they twice flew members of their US Board of Directors
to London to meet with Helen & Dave to seek ways of ending the case.

On 19th June 1997, Mr Justice Bell, in his personal verdict in the trial,
ruled that substantial and significant parts of the London Greenpeace
Factsheet criticising the company have been proved to be true by the
evidence brought by Helen & Dave.á And this was despite the overwhelming
odds stacked against the Defendants who were denied legal aid and a jury,
and had to represent themselves up against experienced lawyers and
notoriously oppressive and unfair libel laws.á Of the other parts of the
Judgment, McDonald's won on the basis of controversial legal and semantic
interpretations of the meaning of the "What's Wrong With McDonald's?"
factsheet.á These mainly regarded McDonald's claim that the factsheet meant
that the company itself directly caused rainforest destruction and hunger in
the third world (ignoring the factsheet's criticisms of multinationals and
the food industry in general), and that people had a very real risk of
cancer, heart disease and food poisoning from eating the company's food,
even though the factsheet did not say this.á The judge astonishingly also
ruled that all the comment (bar one phrase) in the Factsheet would be
treated as statements of fact which had to be proven by primary sources of
evidence.

However, the Corporation must be devastated that the Judge found as a fact
that McDonald's "exploit children" through their advertising, that they are
"culpably responsible" for cruelty to animals, and that the company is
anti-Union and pays such low wages that it helps to depress the already low
wages in the catering industry even further.á The Judge also found that
McDonald's food was "high in fat and saturated fat and animal products and
sodium" and that "advertisements, promotions and booklets have pretended to
a positive nutritional benefit which McDonald's food ... did not match" (ie.
that the food is not nutritious and that they are therefore deceiving the
public when they promote it as such).

On Saturday 21st June, campaigners held an International VICTORY DAY OF
ACTION and leafleted outside McDonald's stores around the world (including
Australia, Poland, USA, Canada, Malta, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland,
Sweden, New Zealand) to demonstrate McDonald's failure to silence its
critics.á Over 500 of the company's 750 UK stores were leafleted in a
display of solidarity with the McLibel Defendants and show of conviction
that all the criticisms in the 'What's Wrong With McDonald's?' leaflets are
true.á 2.5 million of these leaflets have now been handed out in the UK
alone since the writs were served.á The leaflet has become probably the most
famous and widely distributed protest leaflet in history.á As the Defendants
were denied a jury trial, the public are in effect the wider jury and
campaigners are committed to continuing to provide the public with the facts
they need to judge for themselves.á (The Corporation, after all, spends $2
billion every year on its global advertising and propaganda.)á The
McSpotlight Internet website
(<http://www.mcspotlight.org/>www.mcspotlight.org),
set up to provide
comprehensive information worldwide at a push of a button about McDonald's,
the trial and the campaign, has been accessed over 24 million times since
its launch in February 1996.á It has guaranteed that all the information
gathered over the last few years will remain in the public domain.

The four week deadline set by Mr Justice Bell for any final legal
applications in the McLibel trial passed on 17th July 1997 without
McDonald's making any application for an injunction or costs.á The
Corporation has thereby conceded a huge victory to campaigners by
effectively abandoning its legal attempts to halt the public distribution of
'What's Wrong With McDonald's?' leaflets, and has failed to get any award of
costs (despite spending an estimated 10 million pounds).

The Judge awarded 60,000 pounds damages to be paid by Helen & Dave, only
half of what McDonald's had asked for, due to the number of important points
the Corporation had lost.á In fact, the sum has generally been considered a
derisory award.á Nonetheless, Helen & Dave cannot afford to pay and, more
importantly, believe that McDonald's doesn't deserve a penny and that it is
McDonald's who must be forced to pay compensation to those they have
exploited.á McDonald's have stated that they do not intend to pursue the
damages.

The case has been described by the media as the biggest Corporate PR
disaster in history.á The McDonald's Corporation (based in Oak Brook,
Illinois) is refusing to comment on the verdict, claiming falsely that it is
a "UK issue".á This is despite the fact that they were the first and leading
Plaintiff in the McLibel action!á They called top US executives into the
witness box to give evidence and twice flew over other executives during the
trial for secret settlement meetings with Helen and Dave.á The Corporation
obviously knows the damaging nature of the findings made against them and in
the evidence as a whole throughout the trial.á Their refusal to comment is
clearly an admission of a humiliating defeat.á It is a damage limitation
exercise.

Helen & Dave have lodged their appeal in the British courts against the
parts of the Judge's verdict which went against them and over some of the
disturbing legal aspects of the case - it is scheduled to be heard in
December 1998.á The Defendants intend to take the British government to the
European Court of Human Rights to overturn the UK's unfair and oppressive
libel laws - challenging the denial of Legal Aid and the right to a jury
trial, and laws stacked in favour of Plaintiffs.á They will argue that
multinational corporations should no longer be allowed to sue for libel.

Multinationals and governments dominate our lives and our planet, resulting
everywhere in the exploitation and oppression of people, animals and the
environment.á And on top of this we are expected to put up with their
propaganda!á We call on people to get together, talk about these important
issues and to fight back.á Together ordinary people can reclaim our world,
currently based on the greed and power of a minority, and create a society
based on strong and free communities, the sharing of precious resources and
respect for all life.

POOR CONDITIONS MAKE TRAINING "RUFF" FOR RACE

Duluth, Minnesota

Area Mushers preparing for next month's John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon are
adapting to poor snow conditions, some training with all-terrain vehicles or
traveling in search for better snow.

Despite brown conditions in and around this NE Minnnesota city, organizers of
the 500-mile race along Lake Superior say the run is on for January 11, 1998.

"You get away from the lake, and a lot of people would be really surprised.
There is definitely snow," said Al Hedstrom, president of the race's board of
directors.  How much snow there is and what portion of the trail is fit for
dogsledding is unclear.

There is no set snow depth required, Hedstrom said.  The board ultimately must
decide if conditions are safe to race.

In Togo, veteran musher Jamie Nelson has been training on frozen ground.  She
and her team just finished a 250-mile training run, largely over ground with
little or no snow.

"(The dog's) feet are in good shape, the dog team is in good shape, we're
ready," said Nelson, the 1997 champion of the Grand Portage Chippewa John
Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon.

WOMAN HIT BY CAR, KILLED WHILE TRYING TO SAVE LOON ON ROAD

>From the Rocky Mountain News
Denver Colorado
Thursday December 25, 1997

By the Associated Press

Tallahasse, Florida

A woman trying to rescue a loon from the middle of a road jumped back after
being pecked by the bird and was run over and killed by a car.

Cilcia H. Crawford's 13-and 11-year-old stepchildren watched as her rescue
attempt went horribly wrong Tuesday (December 23, 1997).  Her 5-year-old son
didn't see the accident from his seat in their parked truck.

"He doesn't really understand.  He just knows his mama's dead," said the
victim's uncle, Robert Wayne Misso.  "He said, of all things, 'I hate that
duck.' "

Florida Highway Patrol Cpl. T.L. Crawford, no relation to the victim, gave
this description of the accident:

"She reached down to pick up this loon and this thing pecked her in the shin,"
he said.  "When it pecked her, she jumped back and was hit by a red Volkswagen
Rabbit."  Crawford, 25, fell and was run over over by oncoming car.

"The moral of the story is:  Leave the damn duck in the road,"  said the FHP
officer.

The bird appeared fine after the accident.

"You hate to tell people not to stop and pick up animals, but it's probably
better just to call us," said Sue DeLuca, a volunteer at the St. Francis
Wildlife Refuge.

(Comment:  No, Cpl Crawford, the moral of the story is: Be Careful Out
There!-Would any of our rehabbers on the "View" or the "Rehab" list who have
had experience dealing with this type of bird (or with any animal sitting in
the middle of the road) give us their comments or feedback on dealing with
this type of situation for the future?)

          Influenza Virus Found in Live Chickens for Sale in NYC

          By CHRISTOPHER S. WREN

        NEW YORK -- At least 14 live-animal markets in New
              York City have been quarantined -- or temporarily
          closed -- since mid-November after state inspectors
          discovered chickens for sale that were infected with a
          strain of influenza found only in poultry.

          But a spokesman for the State Department of Agriculture
          and Markets stressed that the disease was not the same
          influenza that people contracted from chickens in Hong
          Kong recently, causing three deaths there this month.

          "This is strictly confined to birds and has been around
          for a long time," the spokesman, Peter Gregg, said.
          "There's absolutely no connection to the virus in Hong
          Kong."

          Gregg said that state inspectors had found "some
          positive strains in live poultry markets" in New York as
          part of their ongoing sampling program. He described the
          virus as a "low-grade strain of influenza that has
          affected the poultry industry in New York for the past
          eight years."

          The avian flu would not make people who ate the infected
          poultry sick, Gregg said. But the virus can kill
          poultry, and the customary way to eliminate the threat
          is to kill those birds exposed to it.

          Some poultry wholesalers expressed concern that if the
          chicken virus did spread, it could decimate a poultry
          industry whose worth in New York State alone is
          estimated at $125 million.

           Murray Bresky, a businessman who markets chickens       under
 the brand name of Murray's Chickens, complained that chickens sold at
live markets in New York were subject
          to less stringent controls than those at his plant in
          Pennsylvania, where they undergo federal inspection
          before being shipped across state lines.

          Live-chicken markets have become increasingly popular in
          recent years in New York City, particularly among
          immigrants. The New York metropolitan area has 72 stores
          selling live poultry to customers, many of whom grew up
          in Asia or Latin America and prefer chickens or ducks
          that are freshly slaughtered.

          When the flu virus is found at a live market, the market
          is temporarily closed down. All the poultry must be
          slaughtered and carcasses disposed of to minimize the
          risk of infecting other flocks, because the virus can be
          spread by air.

         The flu affecting chickens in New York is of the
          relatively common H7N2 type. No cases of the lethal new
          Hong Kong flu, which carries the H5N1 designation, have
          been reported in the United States.

INDIA'S ROGUE ELEPHANTS WREAK HAVOC

FROM The Denver Post
Denver Colorado
Wednesday, December 24, 1997

By the Associated Press

Guahati, India

India's northeastern state of Assam has requested federal permission to
capture 200 rogue elephants.

This year alone, 23 people have been trampled to death by elephants who have
left their natural habitat in the jungles to wander into human settlements.
The rampaging pachyderms have also destroyed acres of crops.

Angry victims in the district of Nagaon have staged hunger strikes and marches
to demand further action be taken against the elephants.

"We are trying our best to put an end to this problem, but the elephants do
not seem to be scared of crackers or gunshots," S. Abbasi, a government
official in Nagaon, said on Tuesday.

The Federal government has approved capturing 20 elephants this year, but no
trappers have volunteered because they are poorly paid.
