Surely you would have yourself to blame after giving them accommodation where clean animals had been removed??????
NO because ill badgers can ( and do ) infect healthy sets.

Deer are more riddled with TB than anything else locally but hunting still carry's on tho. Maybe we should just chase infected cows through our neighbours farms????110% the reason why TB has spread to all the species that you mention is because badger numbers have got out of control since they became protected thanks to Labour!
When you see sick or dead badgers around your cattle, then you do a TB test a few weeks/months later and 1/4 ( or worse ) of the cattle that these ill badgers have been near go down with TB its VERY clear that badgers are too blame!
I thought OP also said..... We also have a non ag business running from the farm that could do without the publicity this might bringNo one is brow beating her!
Basically she is saying : I don't have cattle so TB doesn't affect me so I couldn't give a damn about my neighbours that have cattle!
The more farmers that sign up regardless of if they have cattle or not the better the effect of the cull on TB rates in badgers and cattle will be.
No idea if the OP has sheep or not but if she has then I wonder if she will change her views when they go down with TB ( Which plenty of sheep flocks in the SW are doing ) and she gets no compo for TB reactor sheep!
OP needs to look at the much BIGGER picture and not just herself!

If you're going cull then cull everything that moves else you're just wasting your time. End ofNo one hunts deer as its illegal.
Nothing to stop infected badgers going from a infected farm to a clear farm either.........

Chasing deer that are badly infected with TB across many, many miles and parishes is classified as hunting. Pretty stupid idea maybe's? Do it with cow's and you would be eating porridgeNo one hunts deer as its illegal.

To get three farmers to agree you need to shoot 2. We are not French and never have beenI know its hard but if farmers of all types cant stand together over this then its a bad job. STICK TOGETHER!
BullWhat you are saying the hunts are doing is totally illegal and very unlikely to be happening.
Exactly, well put.Just sign up and have a clear conscience that you are helping to solve a problem that affects all of us.
+1So many culls about now that the anti cull lot will be spread so thin that I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Or live in country were should not fear attacks from animal rights looneysNot post anything online about it to attract attention?
