Viva! biosecurity investigation

Badgers are earmarked for slaughter in Wales because they are being blamed for spreading TB in cattle. However, as Viva!'s shocking investigation at three Welsh markets shows, biosecurity failings may be at the real heart of the problem. The group are calling on the new Welsh Labour administration to abandon plans to kill badgers and focus on the real problems - caused by bad farming and the intensification of the cattle industry.

shocking but entirely believable and an indication of how far removed from a living connection with the land most industrial farmers appear to be

This is absolutely disgusting. Not only are the badgers being scapegoated but taxpayers' money is going toward supporting these criminally negligent 'farmers' when their herds become infected. I feel very angry about the ignorance of the farmers, the NGU and the Welsh Assembly for letting this happen.
