The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas will replace Plum Island Animal Disease Center on Plum Island, New York with an added biosafety level 4 laboratories. Just like Plum Island Animal Disease Center, NBAF will bring in samples of disease from around the world for research. This includes Foot-and-Mouth Disease.

Are you willing to put America's beef at risk? A National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility BSL-4 in Manhattan, KS will research livestock disease that is lethal to both animals and humans with: NO cure, NO treatment. It is dangerous and irresponsible to have a BSL-4 in America's Beef Belt. There is always a risk of release. Speak up, tell the federal government to revoke Foot-and-Mouth Disease permits on US mainland and to relocate the BSL-4 research.

This video looks at America's greatest man-made disaster, The Dust Bowl, and the lessons learned that can be applied today. Why is our government and the state of Kansas putting a BSL-4 Animal laboratory in the middle of our beef belt? A leak from NBAF, in Manhattan, KS, would be a catastrophe. 14 known FMDv (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) leaks have occurred from these laboratories world wide, including from the the laboratory NBAF is replacing, Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC), which is located on an island off of New York. In addition, at PIACD alone, a 2008 GAO report found 6 other known FMDv leaks within the facility. Do your own research to learn more, start here at the USDA and DHS websites: https://www.usda.gov/nbaf and https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-techn... Speak up, tell your local, state and Federal officials to: **REQUEST UPDATED Site-Specific Risk Assessment** **REQUEST REVOCATION of all live FMDv permits on US mainland** **REQUEST RELOCATION of BSL-4 to an island location**

A National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, KS will research livestock disease that is lethal to both animals and humans with: NO cure, NO treatment, NO vaccine. It is dangerous and irresponsible to have a BSL-4 in America's Beef Belt. There is always a risk of release. Why take that risk in Kansas, surrounded by livestock? Speak up to stop construction and demand the federal government relocate the BSL-4 research.
