Q Fever - Biological Weapon at Teys Bros Beenleigh

Q Fever; you may not be familiar with the disease, which causes high fevers and flu-like symptoms in humans. But considering that Q fever is known as possibly the most infectious bacterial pathogen in the world and was once tested on humans by the U.S. Army as a possible bio-weapon, perhaps you ought to be, especially if you live within 18 kilometers of Teys Bros Beenleigh Abattoir.


Teys Bros Beenleigh have NOT kept up to date with saftey practices when it comes to their cattle yards, the origin or all potential cases of Q fever.


Tested in the United States as a biological weapon from the mid 1950's to the mid 1970's, it is considered real and dangerous. Most noteworthy is that the infection rate upon contact is, depending on sources, the highest of any bacteria on earth and Teys Bros Beenleigh have it in their cattle yards and refuse to modernise their cattle yard operation to make it safer for the unsuspecting general public.

Teys Bros Beenleigh have commissioned several reports which warn them of the danger, but continue to do nothing.

In 2006, a report conducted by a Occupational Health & Safety Consultant for a Q Fever court case reported that Teys Bros Beenleigh have not taken seriously their obligation to the public, the consultant was making a comment regarding their cattle Yards. The consultant observes their proper procedures of safety for Staff and workers within the business but  comment regarding the lack of care and responsibility Teys Bros Beenleigh have taken in regard to public safety for the surrounding areas.

Q Fever is spread as a air borne disease and Teys Bros Beenleigh have built a 10 meter earth and vegetation buffer next to the cattle yards expecting this mound will stop the wind blowing, its like a joke, if it wasn't so serious.
