Foot & Mouth & Climate Camp?

Is there a connection?

Something may be wrong with me. I woke up and heard the news about the Foot and Mouth outbreak at Guildford and immediately assumed there was a connection with the climate camp starting on the 14th. The 'exclusion zone' is currently 10 KM around the farm. We don't yet know the exact location of the camp, but Heathrow is only a few miles north of the affected farm and no doubt, the exclusion zone will spread wider as time goes on. The proposed injunction against protestors is pretty unworkable and smacks of repression in a way that 'protection of the countryside' would not.
Farmers in that area say they are very surprised - it's not a livestock-dense area (go vegan you idiots!) and conditions don't seem 'right' for the spread of that disease. I heard a government spokesperson say " finding where it came from isn't the priority (!), limiting it is".
Is it just me? Have I finally grown SO mis-trustful of the State that I'm starting to see conspiracy theories everywhere? (I'm relying on the usual healthy barrage of abuse to bring me to my senses - thank you!)
