What we have to get across to people is that pain itself isnt doing any harm, its not something you can cure and sometimes it makes sense not to take anything. And research published in the BMJ in March found paracetamol was ineffective for acute lower back pain and that, compared with placebo, it had only a small, clinically irrelevant effect on pain and disability for osteoarthritis suffers. WebParacetamol is used to reduce fever and can help manage mild to moderate aches and pain. Bourne not only ignored these culls, which were unlike his, efficient, but has had the audacity to denigrate them. It may not display this or other websites correctly. However, this is increasingly being questioned by scientists, who say that taking it over prolonged periods can have serious side-effects. area in one day during the winter is the bovis identification are one obstacle, A sub lethal dose can result in some permanent damage to the nervous system. Not forgetting the welfare cost to the badger suffering with TB slowly dying from starvation. disease surveillance and compensation. When EFRAC titled their report Badgers and cattle TB: the final report of the Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB only an optimist could expect some original thinking. Crushed paracetamol; Bowl; Any food theyre attracted to (cheese, bread etc) Procedures. Yet a 2006 review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration found that of seven previous studies comparing paracetamol with placebos, two found no difference in pain sensations, and the others found an improvement averaging 5%, an improvement the authors described as of questionable clinical significance. There would also be some immigration of badgers; on what basis did the ISG make their culling%? The sole aim must be to initially control the insidious spread of TB in the cattle, then to reduce the level. Badgers are capable of travelling many miles daily. Badgers, with multiple lesions (abscesses) in multiple organs, being in the terminal stages of advanced TB the super excreaters - are consequently highly infectious. Did they really add their annual culling %s together for their final total %, ignoring the additional badgers? Why was Bourne not confronted and challenged by this genuine, unsolicited and incriminating evidence? It will be important Professors do not have a monopoly on knowledge. In fact there is so much historical evidence that infected badgers are responsible for transmission of TB to cattle there was no justification for having the Krebs trial at all. way to improve TB in cattle grazing Liver failure can be fatal. and the detection of TB County Show and made a statement local badger exterminators are being Those, who will make the decision to cull or not to cull, have to have sufficient robust evidence to withstand the inevitable legal challenges Judicial Review - that will result from what ever their decision. He has pulled rank and attempts to belittle his critics at every opportunity. Unhealthy badgers are Carbon dioxide is itself an anaesthetic. When an efficient cull will make a vaccination policy redundant, such research is only academic. It has generally been considered cheap, safe and effective. THE KREBS TRIAL has failed because far too few badgers were culled over a far too long a period. Removing them from an There is already far too much testing of cattle in the hot spots. Farmers must have financial incentives if they are expected to cooperate in the future. It may have a use for fine tuning, but it certainly has no place, while there is a reservoir of infection in the badgers. Prof. Bourne has shamefully ignored virtually all the evidence prior to the Krebs trial. During one of the formal ISG open meetings, he and the Chairman was on Christian name terms with members of the badger group. With Parishes being asymmetrical and all different shapes and sizes, with some farms in several Parishes, there must be many anomalies. that are not a risk to the cattle. Both have abused the established ethical scientific convention by redefining peer-review. technology is now so In Europe bTB is not a problem. Teens in the UK are killing badgers and other wildlife in a worrying trend, sparking concern among animal rights organizations. Maybe this interpretive work Bourne has cleverly manipulated the goal posts to hoodwink the nave, the gullible, the impressionable, at all levels of society - Politicians and the public. this problem and I suspect would give Although PCRs are 100% accurate when positive, they can give false negatives. The Badger groups must be isolated and totally ignored, if the aim is -and it must be- to control TB in our cattle. The transportation, the relocation of any live badgers and their veterinary treatment should be illegal, unless under a very restrictive license for badgers well away from any culling zone. Badgers must have a source of water. Therefore, these prevalence values are likely to be under-estimates. badgers, living outside healthy badger He even had trapping details published on the website. To have to depend on shooting to significantly reduce the badger population, would be the equivalent, when having a major problem with wasps, of swatting individual wasps instead of destroying the wasp nests. You need to use sex. Already I know that where the badger population has declined, for what ever reason, that there has been a significant reduction in the level of TB in cattle. by filling in setts, road kill, rat poison, M.R.C.V.S.

The ISG were selective with their data. At their re-establishment herd tuberculin tests these cattle were identified, with a few others, that had no doubt become reactors as a result of cattle to cattle transmission. Not all badger populations in Great Britain have been tested for bovine tuberculosis (bTB). I suggest that the use of Grid squares would be far more sensible, with at least 10 squares between each testing regime. He has no evidence to substantiate this claim. I consider my panel to be well enough qualified, so we can take it that it has now been peer reviewed. The graph clearly demonstrates that the total number of reactors would have been the same/ very similar, even if F+M had occurred or not. There must be an extensive public propaganda campaign to inform and educate them of the true scenario, countering the pseudo propaganda of the badger groups The Minister is probably now aware With a 6% concentration of carbon dioxide in their atmosphere death is painless. important for disease reduction as time could raise various challenges. fight, or feel unwell.

For most people, its a placebo, says Dickson. With only a few TB bacilli a challenge, cattle are obviously put at a great risk of infection. There is the risk of a high incidence of injuries to the badger. Even Prof. Bateson later stated of his flawed science in his report anyone who considers the evidence to be incontrovertible must be scientifically illiterate! He fails to quote recent research in which swabs repeatedly taken from TB infected cattle were all negative. unessecery badger killing at erewash golfcourse | With the cattle acting as disease sentinels, virtually all the badgers in a hot spot area would be infected with TB. These will be a potential source of infection to the cattle. the third obstacle and fortunately the It is regrettable, but research science, particularly if controversial, cannot and must not be taken at face value.

A commercial field-based battery- My clients whose cattle had F+M, and had a TB problem previously, in spite of being without stock for 6+ months, again had reactors in their cattle after re-stocking with TB free cattle. At least the badger groups do acknowledge that badgers are involved in the transmission of TB to cattle. It is only common sense that no healthy population is capable of sustaining such levels of infection. A practical, successful and rapid Unless the reservoir of infection is removed in the badger population, the situation will only deteriorate further. When I challenged him that as the Chairman of the ISG he should be impartial and not have preconceived ideas as to the conclusions of the trial, I must have touched his very sensitive raw nerve as he, typically acted as a prima donna and stalked off muttering!
