The purpose of this study was to find the change in social awareness in livestock stamping out over time. We used the text data mining method for this study. The data used in this analysis comprised approximately 5,600 newspaper articles. The data were sourced using the keywords 'livestock stamping out' 2010-2017, and classified into two-year intervals. The analysis showed a change in perspective on livestock disease and prevention activities over time. Additionally, it was confirmed that problems related to 'ethics' were continuously raised during the entire period. Prevention activities cannot succeed without the support and participation of people. Thus, the results of this study can be used to establish and implement livestock disease prevention policies.
