Well, three tests, as well as the original one, have shown up positive. Do you keep going until, at last, you get a negative?

Not sure people are aware how quickly and easily bovine TB spreads and can wipe out a herd. Is it worth taking the chance of killing many animals to save the life of one}

I feel they were digging their heels in and weren't going to take any notice of public (or scientific) opinion. Very sad.

I know that this is not huge in the scheme of things but it is news. Have just heard that Geronimo has been killed. I don't understand why DEFRA were unwilling to do a different test seeing that other people had reported that post mortem reports on their animals had shown negative.
