  • Woman 'catches TB from badgers'

    A medical report has claimed a veterinary nurse who was infected with bovine TB was most likely to have caught the disease from badgers. http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/2008/09/26/112375/woman-catches-bovine-tb-from-garden-badgers-report.html Can DEFRA really get away with ignoring the threat of badgers...

  • Re: Badger Cull

    [quote user="stockslave"]Is anyone surprised?[/quote] I've just been down to the stock sheds here at the Royal. There's no surprise but everyone is just so disappointed. They're also worried about what this is going to mean for the future of their business. It will be interesting...

  • Re: Badger Cull - BBC says it won't happen

    Forgot to say - Hilary Benn is due to appear here at the Royal Show later today, so I am sure this will be the main topic of conversation.

    [quote user="Isabel Davies"] This will include from 2009 the publication of infected farms and the compensation paid. [/quote] This may be just one sentence, but it look's to me like the Welsh Assembly is going to use the threat of publicising which farms have TB and how much each farmer...

    Listening to the BBC Radio five live interview with King at six tonight, I was struck how he commented that he thought 70-80% (approx 200,000? badgers would need to be culled in infected areas. That's going to be an interesting "sell" to the general public for Benn - if he dares to go that...
