Yes, Scotland has its act together concerning bTB. That much is obvious. And the rare cases are brought in from cattle from England and Wales. That tells everyone something!
"in those areas of England
and Wales where
tuberculosis in cattle is
rampant, the vast
majority of badgers
(86%) remain clear of
infection" (Quoted from side notes on: http://www.brianmay.com/brian/letters/le...OTLAND.pdf )
What I still cannot understand is why when such evidence is well-documented, should the culling of Badgers even be considered? I really want to know what this is all about! The 'economic repercussions for farmers' which you mentioned, LPC -apparently pose no threat to Scottish farmers....
