RODENT bTB

http://ubp.wq2rx.com
if according to DEFRA 1.2% of rats (over 2 million rattus norwegicus) test posotive for bTB
the entire UK badger population of an estimated 300,000 that has (according to DEFRA) 4% bTB+
do 'their' math - somewhere in the region of ten times as many rats are bTB carriers than badgers.
Ernest Neal published over 50 years ago badger proof fencing plans, come on work it out
these greedy farmers crying about the exploitation while themselves exploiting - are never going to keep rats from farms - & even if farmers keep cows in a glass case, they will still pass bTB amongst themselves. Blaming badgers for bTB is simply wrong, I dont have anything speciesistic ? but rats breed like well rats...hmm wonder if they can rewrite history to blame badgers for bubonic plague ?

Rattus norvegicus did not carry bubonic plague. They didn't even exist in this country at the time.

this is pure statistics, however much u blame badgers - it is a lie
