Got this from a crosspost on another listserve:
-------------

Hi Judy, Thank You for your well wishes, Im so sorry I havent
updated the group, I have been so busy and fuzzy minded the last few
days...This is the latest update, below. (Also a woman called BIMEDA
and they said that my horses had not been seen in 7 days.?) Well
TODAY is the 7th day from WORMING them, they were wormed last
wednesday, got sick on thursday and died on the weekend, and as we
speak my darling horses body parts are in labs being tested. So the
7 day stuff just doesn't wash...I'm guessing the smear campagin and
the "cover their rears" is about to begin.

Im already getting harassing and strange phone calls from them, and
their lawyers are threating to take me to court if I say anything
about BIMECTIN. Well my attorney says I can say anything I like as
long as its the truth, so im still talking and going to continue to
do as as long as they continue with the denials. One more note, I
have been in contact by e-mail and phone to others that as I type,
are sick, and some sadly dead, with the SAME symptoms as mine...and
same wormer. I figure most people will come to their own decisions
on that little " conincidence"?..And they are all ages, breeds,and
in several states. Kerry

Please feel free to cross post this letter and thankyou for your
support. I will need it in the comming days as the company begins
its full "Spin" .
===================================================
After further consultaion with my attorney, and after receiving both
warning letters, and strange phone calls from the BIMEDA Company I
am releasing this statement. Please feel free to foward to
interested parties. I received a WARNING letter today!
For and on behalf of:
Bimeda Inc and part of Cross Vetpharm Holdings Plc
PD Brady Group Company Secretary and Group Chief Legal Officer
That in part stated that if I continued to make comments about
BIMECTIN they would take me to court for slander etc. I then
recieved a message on my answering machine from the BIMEDA vet
saying that "He had a found out some "infomation" what I was feeding
my horses, and that was the "real problem", and that he wanted to
send out a specilist to check that my other horses where not in
danger, and that he thought my other horses where in danger, and the
sepcialist would come to help "save" my other horses."

(THIS QUOTE IS NOT VERBATIUM) I of course called my vet to enquire
if my feed samples came back with something wrong. My vet has given
NO REPORT or infomation to BIMEDA. He said that my (remaining)
horses are FINE and HEALTHY. And my feed report (that he anticipates
will come back FINE as ALL my horses eat it, and ONLY the ones that
used this product are dead and sick!) Therefore what "infomation"
BIMEDA could have recieved is mind boggling. So thats a bit strange,
I have been told by my attorney that it is just a scare tactic, so
that BIMEDA can have access to my property. If they want to enquire
about access to my property they can call my attorney. I feel I did
the right thing, I sent out a warning to other horse owners that
there MAY be a problem and to use caution. It dismays me that the
company that says that they have the animals welfare in mind would
infact do all they can to smear me, and cover their backsides.

Wouldnt you think a caring company would be screaming from the hill
tops "STOP let us test first! and then TEST AGAIN, we dont want to
take ANY RISKS!" Instead they are saying..." We tested....Everything
is fine" So it really comes down to their FINANCIAL BOTTOM
LINE..dosnt it?? Yet I am recieving E-mails and phone calls from
people that AS WE SPEAK, have SICK and DEAD horses, after using this
product with the SAME or SIMILAR symptoms as my horses. And they ALL
used this product, and NOT just my batch number but AT LEAST ONE
OTHER BATCH NUMBER TOO. Its sad to me that a little person like me
is being stepped on HARD by a animal health giant, when all I am
doing is trying to help my fellow horsepersons, and the horses they
love.

This is NOT an internet HOAX, as has been reported in some circles.
This is the REAL DEAL, my horses are SICK and DEAD, and others are
in similar condition with the same/similar symptoms. We are awating
on the necropsy results and anticipate that we will have them in a
few days.I have done everything I can with the advice of my attorney
and my vet. It is all I can do as a little person in a world full of
company giants. Kerry
