Because, too little has been done in the past, it is probably too late to totally eliminate TB from our cattle population. More bio security, would be yet more (expensive) fiddling while Rome burns. The suggestion that there should be post movement testing of cattle, that have already been pre movement tested, prior to arrival would be yet another financial burden on the farmer. 2. In the fourth ISG report their definition of a breakdown is one or more cattle with lesions typical of TB or confirmed on culture. Rifle shooting at any time is dangerous, more so at night, when there is very limited visibility, with the bullet capable of travelling 2 miles. It has made me far more aware of their devious ways. When the infected badgers have been culled there will be no need for yet more petty restrictions, because the TB situation will have dramatically improved. Sometimes, no culling took place at all. There are children in Mid Wales with classical bTB lesions. The curve has continued rising ever since.

EFFRAC before publishing their report, should have debriefed these Veterinary Surgeons who actually have had decades of practical experience and have no vested interests - the likes of John Gallagher, John Daykin and retired DVOs/DVMs, who have been critical of the ISGs pseudo-science in the past. Install fencing around the perimeter of your yard, or around the problem area. Our troops were sent to Iraq to be shot at and blown up, on a whim, which has resulted in the slaughter of hundreds and thousands of men women and children; yet there is a reluctance to sanction a cull of some badgers suffering with their TB, which would seriously improve the over all situation.

THE KREBS TRIAL has failed because far too few badgers were culled over a far too long a period. Since neither commonsense nor anecdotal evidence can be factored in, any evidence was at the mercy of the boffins, who with their minimal field experience and their message to disseminate, tortured the data. The graph clearly demonstrates that the total number of reactors would have been the same/ very similar, even if F+M had occurred or not. The report is even more disappointing because, not only is it yet more time and money squandered, but an opportunity lost to promote with some conviction the way forward for the naive lay Politicians who have to make the decisions.

The badger has to present itself as a suitable target. Luckily badgers have relatively poor eyesight. However, evidence of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) infection was found in all randomised badger culling trial (RBCT) areas (where culling meant there were carcases that could be tested), namely: Gloucestershire/Herefordshire, Cornwall/Devon, East Cornwall, Herefordshire, North Wiltshire, West Cornwall, Derbyshire/Staffordshire, Devon/Somerset, Gloucestershire and Devon.

Thanks for passing on this infomation. routinely visited but in many counties Maximal binding to liver DNA, 8.4 +/- 3.1 pmol/mg of DNA, was observed at 2 h and declined rapidly to 2.6 pmol/mg at 24 h.

However, in 2011, Professor Michael Doherty, a rheumatologist at Nottingham University, published a study looking at almost 900 patients aged 40 and older who took paracetamol, ibuprofen or a combination of both for chronic knee pain.

Due to the latest TB scare I expect this will be happening a lot. This is why there is so much noise, which is difficult to interpret. Farmers already over burdened with petty restrictions must not have to be burdened with the cost and the implementation of culling. for fear of ignition. been a quantum leap in sequencing I defy any one, unless very local, at night to know what the terrain is and any hazards within range; never mind any one else prowling around. With infected badgers excreting such massive numbers of bacilli, EFRAC still questioned the precise mechanism of the infection between badger and cattle! communities. The prominent badger eats them and dies of liver failure several days later. Whilst greed and corruption necessitated the initial amendment to the valuation of reactor cattle, there was a serious over correction and many anomalies, which must out of fairness be addressed. samples or in throat Needless to say this open invitation to sabotage the trial was taken. It just demonstrates the ISGs ignorance. interesting data. Paracetamol can actually be a very dangerous drug, says Dr John Dickson, who retired from general practice in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, last year.
