Lies and excuses

Some times you have to, if you know what i mean

 

Yes, I could end up the black sheep of the village!!

 

£18,000 ?, heck line 'em up.

 

Ahh the cost of slaughtering a protected species

 

Will the meat from an infected bovine harm us?

 

Pasteurizing and cooking food well, so i under stand it (but don't take my word for it) is meant to be ok but i could be wrong

Thank you for putting those links up for me to read Jiffy. The incidence of us being infected are so rare - especially if we don't work in the bovine industry, that I think all this is costing more than we can afford to pay.
The Food Police and Nanny make me cross!!

 

Made me laugh, back during the Mad Cow scare there was a temporary ban on Keratin, a hoof & horn product that we used to use as a plaster retardant.

Our stores manager had a stash of it that he let us have, but our Stonemason wasn't too keen on using it, not wanting to catch mad cow disease.

I asked him what he'd just had for lunch, he replied "Beef Pasty."

 

If you seen some of the stuff that was going in to animal feed you wouldn't be surprised that they got it

Thankfully those day are gone

 

This is what I meant http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/badgers_dumped_in_river_as_cull_extended_1_2903166

This doesn't seem to have been widely reported http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-25770971 (or not when I heard of it this morning)

And then there's this http://m.farmersguardian.com/61501.article?mobilesite=enabled

P.S. My FIL is an ex-dairy farmer who supports the badgers

P.P.S. Here's an interesting study, but it's a shame that not one single culled badger was tested for TB nor shotgun pellets http://www.wildlifeextra.com/go/news/bewick-swans011.html#cr That sort of thing gets tested for, but not in culled badgers where the 'shooters' got to select the small percentage that were examined to check if they were killed humanely.

 

I even left my job because i didn't like what was going on , the rules have been tighten up but in some places it still goes on

 

What's an optimist
