WHILE we hear of TB in cattle and badgers, it seems to be overlooked in deer who also carry TB. In fact, most animals are prone to some of the diseases we are and will sadly suffer before we die.

It concerns me that after so many years and cost to us all, a vaccine to protect cattle is still years away.

I wish there could be a debate of farmer and badger group, I feel the public deserve this. It would explain to us in detail where the cash has gone. Do cattle always have a 'true' test? It appears to vary from animal to animal and condition. TB will not just go away.
