[QUOTE="jade35, post: 521450, member: 455"] Well this quote certainly shows their skewed viewpoint:- “[AHWBE chairman] Michael Seals points to the fact – and my view would be – that the industry is heavily reliant on Government full stop in terms of solutions and owning problems. “There has to be sharing of responsibility, risk and cost. That is always taken to be passing costs but the welfare board is trying to empower various parts of the industry to own these problems. “My observation would be this industry is quite accustomed to Government subsidy and compensation.” I will leave Matthew and GUTH to demolish their argument but I would like to know why with ever more frequent testing and full movement details and restrictions of cattle they have not stopped TB in it's tracks yet. As mentioned previously, between 1956 and 2001 Father in law had one South Devon cow go inconclusive on one test, since then :banghead::banghead::(. We have brought no new animals on to the farm since 2001 and have only one short hedge on the farm where there could be possible direct nose to nose cattle contact but the problem goes on and on. (and yes, I fully understand the one variable that we are not allowed to touch because we are 'heavily reliant' on Government rules and regulations 'in terms of [COLOR=#b30000]solutions and owning problems[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]')[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
