I for one shall not be joining a dairy boycott. Joyce Moss gives a jaundiced view of farmers and their activities forgetting that we have the highest animal welfare standards in the world.
Since 2000 in Eire there has been a campaign to control the numbers of badgers and the number of bovines slaughtered because of bTB has fallen from 40,000 to 18,500 annually. In England during the same period it has risen from 8,000 to 38,000.
Also in Ireland there is no significant 'perturbation' effect – this happens when diseased badgers disturbed by a cull leave an area and infect cattle elsewhere which happened during trials in England due to outside influences. The cost to the taxpayer in compensation is £250 million. Nobody is talking about extermination of badgers just a reduction of their ever increasing numbers. Support our farmers and their products.
