[QUOTE="slackjawedyokel, post: 8453530, member: 34254"] That BBC article only appears to be focused on UK practices; it doesn’t mention ‘farming practices’ in other countries. I suppose it’s a bit like the Climate Change debate- it makes stuff all difference if I go from treating two cows with antibiotic annually down to one when there are multi-deck intensive pig sheds in China administering AB constantly and polluting waterways with the effluent. Like the climate, AB resistance is a worldwide issue and should be tackled as such. Clamping down heavily here could make matters worse if we end up importing more from countries with poorer practices. [/QUOTE]
