Each dose has to be made up fresh. Or that they don’t come into contact with cattle? The number of cases that year were 5% higher than pre-cull levels. It’s empty, no badger in sight. I ask Louise what the bTB situation is at this particular site. Based on that, they decided to put down 30 traps. Instead, they become easy targets—less badger, more sitting duck—in a nationwide cull that has so far claimed the lives of 100,000 of these protected mammals. Vaccination, meanwhile, provides a practical and humane alternative which—in contrast to culling—should prevent a disease reservoir from developing in badgers, and stop them becoming re-infected. Due to this push-pull effect, The RBCT suggests that if you cull for four years, the overall benefit over nine years is a reduction of bTB in cattle of just 12-16%—a finding that led the authors to conclude badger culling could offer “no meaningful contribution to cattle bTB control in Britain.”, Over the years since it was published, several independent experts have suggested that the findings of the RBCT are not safe science. So in attempting to embrace my new "job" in dreams and intuition, I admit that I have been going forward dragging my feet with all kinds of irrational fears. But that’s only one part of Amy’s job. That’s the only way I can deal with all of this.”. Avon Wildlife Trust‘s work to vaccinate badgers, and help tackle TB in a way which allows them to thrive, will continue for another two years. The whole thing, to me, is a real mess.”. It arches its back, bites the bars, and digs with its formidable claws, pulling grass and clods of soil into the cage with it. In the case of TB and cattle, that means improving hygiene on farms, and introducing better testing regimes.

Frances finally exhausts herself to the point that she falls asleep but she still did it thinking she accomplished it on her terms when, in fact, she just stopped fighting the inevitable for her own good.

Frances is a children's series produced by the Jim Henson Company that brings the storybook character of Frances, a young badger from the book series by Russell Hoban, to life with the use of digital puppetry. That’s the equivalent of corralling pandemic-era humans into close, unsanitary quarters.

The belief that badgers can transmit it to cattle is what sealed their death warrant. I don't even think it's necessary to go that far in my own analysis when perhaps the most poignant moment of all for me is the end when she comes to understand that it is her job to get some sleep so she can wake up fresh the next morning to be her best. I ask Louise if she’s feeling optimistic. In 2019, Avon Wildlife Trust partnered with Somerset Badger Group to demonstrate that there is a cost effective, long term solution to bTB that doesn’t involve culling badgers.

That alone feels like a gross injustice.
