I present data on bovine TB mainly in the UK. I also tweet on other subjects which interest me like climate change & Freedom of Information. I strive to inform.

Great. Let's support the right to jet off on holiday & do day trips in cars at the expense of others. This looks very much in line with England's policy to bury head in sand & for its society to point finger at "greedy" fuel companies when they satisfy demand. STOP CONSUMING!!.

BOVINE TB IN THE UK .The main cause of bTB in the UK is ignorance & prejudice in society. There is widespread misunderstanding of the important role played by badgers in spreading infection. Since the 1970's this prejudice has been reinforced by media and media-savvy individuals.
Over 210,000 badgers have been killed since 2013—yet science shows they’re not the main cause of bovine TB. Vaccination works. The cull doesn’t. It’s ineffective, inhumane, and must end. Know the facts. Challenge the policy. #farmer #Badgers

Detailed statistics on Tuberculosis (TB) in cattle in Great Britain with regional breakdowns.
The TB Truth Journey: What a Decade Has Taught Us. Over the past ten years, we’ve followed the science, the data, and the reality on the ground — and the truth is clear: if badgers play any role in the transmission of bovine TB, it is negligible to zero. Bovine TB survives,

BOVINE TB ON ISLE OF MAN.Thank you for the prompt. I have gone & figured as you suggested and have found that the Isle of Man is officially bovine TB free and has held this status since 2016. The Department along with vets & farmers routinely test for TB.
@terrierview @ProtectTheWild_ There is bovine TB on the Isle of Man, there are no badgers on the Isle of Man. Go figure.

Irish ministers apparently have access to 2024 TB data but the public don't. Why it is necessary for the Irish government to site on the data for so long? Now release dates for the previous year's data is in October whereas prior to 2018 they were in March matching those in GB.

POLITICAL SUICIDE.No politician has the necessary mandate to tackle TB effectively. The needed resource, timescale & dedication is incompatible with democratic, election-driven cycles. Effective resolution is not technically difficult but politically it's insurmountable.
At a meeting of Cabinet, Minister @martinheydonfg updated colleagues on current bovine TB disease levels and of his plans to address the deteriorating disease situation and the impact on farmers and their families. 👉

The government in England is currently winding down the culling of badgers in spite of evidence of its effectiveness. In 2024 the percentage of cattle slaughtered in Wales exceeded the percentage in England three fold (2.8 times).
@ABridgen Bad example. The government just extended and widened the 'official' cull of badgers to control bovine TB against scientific advice and in spite of the lack of evidence of effectiveness. So *you* can't kill a badger, but the government can. No life is sacred to these Satanists.

SLAUGHTER TO PREVENT TB.In 2022, 2023 & 2024 the % of cattle slaughtered due to bTB in Wales exceeded that in England by 1.9, 2.3 & 2.8 times. @DrBrianMay said at that TB policy in England has failed farmers. No. TB policy in Wales has failed farmers.

Like Wales, @WildlifeTrusts is standing up for badgers at the expense of increased cattle slaughter. In 2024 policy in Wales resulted in three times more cattle being slaughtered than in England. No big deal for those whose livelihood is not strongly dependent on cattle farming.
Bovine TB is a devastating disease, but it's primarily spread by cattle. The solution lies in better cattle testing and a swift roll-out of the cattle vaccine. Not culling wildlife ‼️. We must stand-up for nature 💚.Find out more (2/2).
