If you look around the world, most responsible countries are instituting these same measures. A couple irresponsible countries in North America and South America are disregarding the necessity of personal distancing and hygiene measures.

There might be enough food, but it takes time to price and restock shelves, time for large deliveries from warehouses and wholesalers time for the cleaning and disinfecting of shelves and surfaces.

What happened to returns from the NIB contributions over the years?

There are persons who ust travel to feed animals. Six days without food for horses is not feasible.
