[QUOTE="Bruce Almighty, post: 9212094, member: 297"] A few points - sorry going off topic slightly Badgers are mass excretors of TB (Pigs are mass excretors of foot & mouth) TB is a respiratory disease, where could be a worse place for it to spread than a hole underground ? In the words of one of our vets If you were trying to explain TB to someone who knew nothing about it - “It’s a disease that affects both big black and white animals and also small black and white animals, to control the disease we test and kill the infected big black and white animals but we don’t do anything about the small black and white animals” Finally TB was almost eradicated in Britain in the 60s and 70s by way of testing cattle and slaughtering infected cattle. Any badger setts near the infected herds were gassed. It was a proven successful system. Once the gassing of infected badgers stopped, the TB started spreading, the rest is history. [/QUOTE]
