[QUOTE="matthew, post: 6254938, member: 169"] We have a big problem here, in that the top end of TeaBag (or whatever they call themselves this year) are lecturing farmers to 'own the situation'. Just how a cattle farmer can do that when as [USER=556]@topground[/USER] has pointed out, highly infected, over protected and incontinent wildlife are polluting your grassland, is not explained. Territorial and hungry badgers are very determined. The other angle that T-Bag's members are (still) promotoing is badger vaccination - that despite the accumulated evidence of trials over the last 9 years that indicate not an iota of benefit is seen by cattle restrictions in areas where it has been widespread. See links in this posting: [URL]https://bovinetb.blogspot.com/2019/03/new-year-new-lies.html[/URL] I'm afraid that I have no time at all for this merry go round of misery, foisted on to us, along with a shower of blame from many different agencies, sources and assorted hangers on. They are not a solution. They are a very big problem. The only thing found to get herds clear of TB long term is to get rid of the badgers up spilling infection. That was made crystal clear in our PQ's. The alternative is to get rid of your cattle. So, keep focussed and read some history of TB eradication. If we don't understand that background history, we are condemned to repeating it. [URL]https://bovinetb.blogspot.com/2018/02/zoonotic-tuberculosis-and-straw-men.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
