TB skin testing is ineffective so a 'clean' bull may have TB. Better sanitation & hygiene on farms. Cow poo from infected cows can spread the disease. Watch what you do with the slurry. Badgers probably catch it from the cows.

So it's illegal to test cows for TB without permission from the govt. Which means if the govt are determined to kill badgers there is no way to experiment with other ways of preventing TB. Any research is only with govt permission.

Hearing that Labour won't end Badger Culling and that local extinctions of badgers have happened...I guess the Nature Vote (who had a big march in Westminster the other week) is another one they feel they can do without, like Queers and Muslims.

"... in Scotland - where there is no cull, and the government has taken other measures - bovine tuberculosis has been eradicated altogether ...the [#UK] government already ignored the experts when they introduced the cull in the first place, and they’re set to ignore them again. We need to send them a message, from hundreds of thousands of members of the public..."

Fortifying setts against badger baiters
At first glance of a badger sett covered in steel wire mesh and belting, it is easy to presume that its residents are victims of some form of persecution.
