Hi guys!

Just another quick thing I require your help with. You don't have to comment or anything if you don't want to, just a vote will suffice as all I'm really after is statistics, but you're more than welcome to open this up as a debate!

The options are limited and brief, and I'm not offering any background info (e.g. scientific research, costs, etc.) to try and sway you. I'm just after initial opinions, regardless of how much you may or may not know on the subject.


Just to clarify a few things before you vote:

To trap and kill/vaccinate would take the same amount of time, as I'm sure you can imagine (a bullet or a quick jab, not much in it). No aftercare would be required.

I'm not being patronising, just informing any who don't really know: vaccinations are done before anything is contracted (think about your own TB or tetanus jabs that you've had), they're preventative and not cures. A vaccination is merely a small part of the virus (inactive or active) injected to the body to prompt the animal's own immune system to deal with it (initially and in future). So if the cow already has TB it can't be vaccinated.

By improving security I mean farmers building better fences/facilities/that sort of thing to minimise contact between their livestock and wildlife. By procedures I mean improving their own hygiene practice and controlling the movement of their livestock more rigidly, that kind of stuff.


Thanks

Your posts are fuckin weird sometimes dude....

okay, so i wish you could have picked two. but surely, the only sensible option would be to vaccinate cattle as that is what you're trying to protect. i mean, we don't vaccinate/kill animals to defend ourselves. though, obviously upgrading security and minimising contact would be a sensible move...and would work best as a joint effort between the two options. when you start vaccinating badgers (or indeed killing them) you mess with the natural order. we don't vaccinate rabbits for mixymytosis (unsure as to speling of that).

How can I trap and vaccinate them and kill if already infected?

I'd be unhappy about our foodstuffs being given more drugs.
I'm also unhappy about our wildlife being slaughtered.

I'd vote for either of the other two, whichever is the most effective.

deffo not the vaccination! you should see some of the horrendous growths cattle seem to develop from receiving a shot! its disgusting

they need a better system for vaccination. and better research into the vaccines.

the vaccination would be safe. you have been injected with the same thing in your lifetime...i also prefer my foodstuffs to be disease free.

i know its safe in regards to making sure the animal isnt infected but would you HONESTLY be happy with digging into your sunday roast that has had to have !MOST! (not all!) of a disgusting fat cancerous growth cut out of it before its been sold to you?

not for me thanks!

ste...read dearest lol

i said its needs more research and better methods on injection. hence eliminating ickiness...

ha i didnt even see your first line! my bad dudette my bad
