A truck carrying carcasses of slaughtered cows leaves from a closed road in Flexford, near Guildford, southern England, August 4, 2007. Foot and mouth disease has been found in cattle on a British farm, the government said on Friday, as it banned livestock movements to prevent a repeat of a 2001 outbreak that blighted farming and rural tourism.
