Actually, I don't know how it might affect livestock--so it could be a problem for the cattle industry, I guess.
Fox TV now reporting that vials are only "missing", not necessarily stolen, and they don't know how long ago this happened. They also report that the strain/strains missing are not a kind that can be weaponized.

I am so relieved that it is a strain that cannot be weaponized. I would hate to be killed by one of those strains. I prefer a death by non weaponized pathogens.
Question though....If you hurl a rat or squirel at someone with a slingshot, is that weaponized Bubonic or Junta? If I just take it to a gradeschool for the kids to show and tell, is that the non-weaponized form or the weaponized form?

Someone should inform CNN of that, since they just had a scientist on who said they DON'T KNOW if it was liquid or the powder type which can be converted to the "weapons grade" .

"City officials were not sure if the vials were stolen or merely misplaced". How can 35 vials turn up missing? That's like saying Winona Ryder accidentally walked out of a store with 13 halter tops, 10 pairs of jeans, 7 skirts and 5 bras. C'mon!
