Now Malaysia culls goats

MALAYSIA is expected to cull 1200 goats this week in an attempt to contain a viral outbreak.

Officials have already slaughtered 1 million pigs to combat an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis, which has killed 100 people.

They are now testing horses, stray dogs, fruit bats, goats and other farm animals.
