MADAM – No doubt we will soon be seeing signs of the general election leaflets etc.
Can I please ask candidates to deal once and for all with the bovine TB issue.
We still have small farms where cattle are treated well, they are still named etc.
I’m told the testing of cattle is hopelessly flawed and has ‘been around for over 90 years, doesn’t work, and is often the end of farming’. Bearing in mind the many hours farmers work, isn’t it time to show their side of it. I know the power of the EU etc but don’t farmers have some rights too – plus their animals.
Given the opportunity, and let’s face it 90 years is long enough, there should be better ways of testing cattle.
Prospective MPs please listen.
