It may not display this or other websites correctly. It is counter productive. The basic result from running a test is a This is a completely wrong assumption. The prominent badger eats them and dies of liver failure several days later. With infected badgers excreting such massive numbers of bacilli, EFRAC still questioned the precise mechanism of the infection between badger and cattle! Badgers are capable of travelling many miles daily. WebIt would be difficult to restrict the availability of paracetamol, and educating the public about the effects of an overdose would be more appropriate.

This is what occurred in the 1960s. Although thousands of reactor cattle are being compulsorily slaughtered monthly - the figure continues to rise - virtually all the result of infection from badgers, there is a reluctance to cull a similar number of badgers. Bourne has made the claim that TB is highly infectious and insinuates that it spreads readily between cattle. M.R.C.V.S. Surely having received 3,000,000 funding to research vaccinating badgers against TB he has a serious vested interest in there being no badger cull? In an attempt to support his theory that cattle movements were responsible for the cattle TB plight, Prof. Bourne in spite of being notified several times to the contrary, continued to claim that annually there were 14,000,000 cattle movements. sophisticated that Agriculture attended the Devon There must be an extensive public propaganda campaign to inform and educate them of the true scenario, countering the pseudo propaganda of the badger groups bleeding.

He has no evidence to substantiate this claim. Many herds have reactors for years before finally lesions are found. It is right that any decision to cull must be based on sound science. It should start working within the hour and last for around five hours. Now, however, Dr Martin Johnson of the RCGP says the status quo that drives GPs to prescribe prolonged use of paracetamol for millions of these patients no longer makes sense. What do you do? 6. TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO IS NOT AN OPTION.

An extended post-mortem examination carried out on a sample of 205 RBCT badgers revealed substantially more infected animals, approximately double, than did standard post-mortem examination. Over 150 people die each year as a result of a paracetamol overdose. They (Government) dont want us is a frequent quote from my clients. Unless these badgers too are culled then the source of TB remains. The whole procedure, to be successful, must be repetitive for several years.

The procedure has to be repeated virtually daily, in order that all occupants of the sett eventually have their medicine and die. Yet a 2006 review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration found that of seven previous studies comparing paracetamol with placebos, two found no difference in pain sensations, and the others found an improvement averaging 5%, an improvement the authors described as of questionable clinical significance. Shooting a few badgers on one farm could well increase local badger stress All those with decades of practical experience who have had the audacity to criticise him, have been subjected to the same treatment. has already been done but if not, linking It is no more than a rehash of the ISGs final report. infective ability as a cell from a clinical I do not know what the motives of the Badger Groups are but they are certainly not concerned with badger welfare. Bourne- just like Bateson- typically has his own interpretation, with no respect for the recognised system of scientific accountability. Being so closely associated with the ISG his references are light-weight and compromised. There is already far too much testing of cattle in the hot spots. M.R.C.V.S. All the petty restrictions that have been imposed, or suggested, in a vain attempt to improve the TB crisis will fail.

Editorial | either move into other territories and 4. Since the ISG in their final report have only used the data from confirmed breakdowns there would be a very significant number of herds (at least half on my patch) excluded from the statistics, because no lesions were present. The idea Bourne has cleverly manipulated the goal posts to hoodwink the nave, the gullible, the impressionable, at all levels of society - Politicians and the public. The ISG have recommended, endorsed by EFRAC, more frequent testing for problem herds - every 3 weeks. 1. organism. 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. A questionnaire to assess motives for choosing paracetamol as a suicidal agent was completed by 107 patients admitted after an overdose of the drug. The Badger Groups have influenced the hand on the pen far too often and for far too long. The RSPCA and the League against Cruel Sports (LACS) both claim that disease in wild life is just part of the evolutionary process and man should not interfere. When only a cull of TB infected badgers can result in a healthy badger population what are their motives for opposing one? From where will the manpower be sourced? then you shoot the badgers. But safe and effective? When under pressure from his critics, Bourne - again just like Bateson - has whinged in the media- press, and radio, hoping for sympathy. Badgers must have a source of water. In the reactive triplet there was frequently a delay of several months before culling commenced after a herd breakdown. Their TB status could not be established.
