ONDON - After six weeks of horror that has filled the British countryside with funeral pyres of animals killed because of foot- and-mouth disease, the government is considering using a form of napalm to speed up immolation of the carcasses.

The Vietnam-era chemical weapon that killed people by coating them in liquid fire could help cut the pollution and chemicals released into the atmosphere as Britain struggles to dispose of the bodies of 500,000 animals slaughtered in a preventive cull.

Britons are so spooked by the weeks of incineration, it appears they welcome anything that would speed up the process

SAR, prions are Mad Cow Disease. This is the other one. But various stuff is likely to be airborne as a result of the conflagration.
