Are cattle vaccinated against TB?
If not, why not?
And if they are, then surely it isn’t a problem?

Or is that too simple and I’m missing something? :?

Putting a man on the moon is simple, Jen.

However, sorting out a bovine equivalent of a vaccination that is already in place for humans is apparently, far too difficult. :wink:

Here’s DEFRA’s info on the subject. 26,000 a year is a lot of cattle, but it’s not “hundreds of thousands every week” by a long chalk. Granted your post was sarcy f_pol, but your point was spoilt for me by the sarcasm and the exaggeration.

The reason for protecting badgers is not their ‘cuteness’. Bees, for example, are not cute in my mind, but essential to the ecosystem. Maybe badgers are useless appendages to nature that can be harmlessly discarded, but that is not being argued.

I just hope this isn’t another huge mistake. My gut instinct is pessimistic.

Well done Words for putting things into perspective using reasoning and facts as opposed to hysterical scaremongering.

Well said. I don’t understand why the human race thinks the answer to such issues is killing. We are the most destructive species on this planet.

He can apologise all he likes but he sold his soul to the devil in order to grasp a bit of power which in the end, is nothing but a token.

Hopefully, an entire generation of students will never ever vote Lib Dem thus consigning this ridiculous excuse for a political party to the dustbin of history.

I love mars ice creams too. :wink:

So do I but the problem is, when you deep fat fry them to make them more durable, it just doesn’t work.

It’s like a trip to London – you can get so much mileage out of it. :wink:
