The Migori government and farmers in Kuria East have been baffled by an unidentified disease that has killed more than 300 cows andother livestock in three weeks. "At first we thought it was black quarter but after visiting we ruled it out," Livestock chief Were said. "I have lost three cows, two goats and two sheep to this strange disease," Range said. We are scared of even touching the dead animals," Range said. Activist Samuel Werema said county vets have been asking bribes of Sh1,000- Sh2,000 to treat the cattle, which later die.
