Could it be overfarming that's the cause?
Gone are the small farms that rarely had problems with TB despite badgers living in close proximity. Now we have huge dairy farms with huge herds of cattle modified to produce unnaturally high supplies of milk. The balance of domestic v wild animals surely is a green issue.

Farmers and the country are losing millions of pounds because of the cost of livestock destruction due to the TB tests. Time we came out of the EU and time we tested everybody who comes into the UK for TB as many folk come here particularly from Pakistan who already have the bugs and are not checked until it has been passed on to other people.

Environment and Buildings are interlinked
This is a green living story, hence in that section. Landscaping is an important part of building. Wildlife has a place in the landscape. Badgers are often displaced during new developments and great efforts are made to relocate them by developers. It IS therefore relevant here.

Nothing to do with green building....
This is a farming community countryside issue. Please stick to articles which are relevant to green building.
