It seems most of the guys who came over from the other board have now gone quiet - have they left?

It appears that most of them have. There are still several of the "Good" ones here though.

Its against the law to be cruel to Badgers although the government is still on about culling them. Best keep your head down Badge.

Hey Apache, what are your thoughts on badger culling, do they really spread TB to cattle ??

Absolutly they do! People think badgers and nice cuddly creatures - have they ever seen one close up? Nasty buggers.

They carry TB and unlike cows and people where the bacteria go to the lungs and is coughed out in the badger it goes to the kidneys so they pass the disease wherever they urinate.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that you can't control any disease (TB in cattle) by ignoring the wildlife reasovoir (badgers).

I'm not anti-badger per say but they must be culled in endemic areas. The only reason that it's not happening is the government don't think the public would stand for it.

There was a flawed trial where they killed some badgers on infected farm, but this made the disease worse. All it did was break up family groups, so the badgers wandered and spread TB to other cows and badgers.

All badgers on infected farms MUST be killed for the cows and the badgers sake. As it is we are killing thousends of cattle every year for nothing! So far this year (Jan > September) 26,766 cows were slaughtered thought to be infected with TB.

In my yoof, drone drone, I worked on an Australian buffalo farm in the Northern Territory and part of the work involved vaccinating the buffalos from TB. Don't we do that here? ?:|

No we don't. The reason being that the test for TB looks for antibodies to the disease. So we would have no way of knowing whether the animal was infected or immune through vaccination.

There is ongoing research into a vaccine that would let us tell the difference between vaccinated and infected cattle. There is also work looking at a vaccinae for the badgers - hidden in food.

Badgers nasty buggers ! I can't have that. To my knowledge Mr. Badger was a neighbour of Rupert Bear, he was OK. And Wise Old Badger came from the Wild Wood, armed with a stout gudgel, to help Ratty and Mole drive the Stoats and Weasles from their occupation of Toad Hall.. no, no I think you've got this all wrong Patch. ; \

 

[binky]

I'm begining to think you're a cow fan Apache, perhaps we should re-name you Ermintrude .

Biggest problem is lack of natural predators for badgers (and beavers for that matter). Hence culling will always be necessary.

Deke - I think Wind in The Willows has done more harm to cows than anything in the last 10 years! (cos everyone thinks badgers are cuddly)

If you PM me you're address I'll send you a dead one and you can have a closer look
