Badger Culling Ends in Wales

Welsh assembly has stopped the policy of badger culling in Wales.

The effectiveness of the policy has been questionable for many

Given the resources used in culling and the massive cost to farmers of TB we believe the search for a clear cut policy which demonstrably improves the situation should continue, Badger culling has questions marks therefore a better solution must be found.

And in our view a better solution must include better testing methods.

The current way in which cattle are diagnosed is ridiculous.

Here is a great example of how TB is diagnosed in cattle. The viewer should note that the method used in the video is the standard procedure and it is expected to identify a 1mm-4mm difference (if you can believe such a procedure was ever given the green light).
