A Child that dies because it was infected with TB by infected badger droppings ? You want to protect ducks and foxes but do you make allowances by the birds that you kill with your car or the frogs and toads you run over by your car ?I doubt it because you are obviously one of those anti this anti that unless it affects you personnally.This is a perfect example of the definition of the word " SELFISH"</blockquote>
