I bet there are no reports of Hendra virus or anything like it before the first outbreak a few years ago. Now we have hi security bio-tech labs full of the stuff. Bats and horses have been sharing airspace for years. Now all of a sudden we have a trans species virus. I don't believe it for a second. This is something that escaped from a lab. Who knows how it will mutate and how virulent it will become. Smells like an NWO population control experiment to me.

As for the bats they are not endangered, kill every last one of the mofos that even looks at a race course or a horse farm.

Unholy batsh** ...the greatest threat to mankind may be starting near my own backyard.
In this part of the world bats are everywhere they leave presents on your car your driveway your verandah, its spooky looking through a telescope here as the threat of contracting the Hendra virus could be a side affect from star gazing.
Its truly a red alert event.

We just went through something similar here; keep your livestock home. Don't take them off your place and don't allow other animals on your place. There is no other way to keep your animals safe and healthy. Once infected death soon follows but it will be safe enough two to four weeks after the last animal gets sick.

Good Luck, you'll need it.

Sorry guys! forgot this was here, my 1 year old is keeping me busy that's for sure! I haven't really heard anything else, at least since last week where they ended up putting down the kelpie that was found with it in its system.

bluemirage5, it does seem to pop out close to spring racing season, or at least preparation for it - maybe it's no coincidence? (I said that with my conspiracy hat on, of course )

Either way, it's either being downplayed, or it would seem the threat has passed - or my local news sources are crap!
