TB or not TB?
A Catalyst article about the problems of badgers transmitting tuberculosis to cattle, but is a cull of badgers a solution to the problem? When cattle are found to be suffering from tuberculosis, a disease which can be passed onto humans, they are routinely slaughtered. It is known that badgers can transmit the disease to cattle, so many farmers would like to see badgers culled. But is this the solution to the problem? A scientific study suggests that it is not.
