[QUOTE="twizzel, post: 6761122, member: 64240"] Deer don’t excrete the disease like badgers do when they snuffle along close to the ground. Also TB will kill a deer fairly early after contracting it whereas badgers are solid hardy little things and take a long time to peg it, during which they excrete it and spread it wherever they go. Not saying deer don’t harbour it but from what I’ve been told they generally are an overspill species which only gets TB if it’s endemic in the badgers, and they tend to die pretty quickly too.
