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
