TBfree

Last week I was in Wellington speaking to the Animal Health Board board.

I know too many boards.

Their Board is made up of reps from around the country,

all farmers,

all passionate about getting rid of Bovine Tuberculosis.

They remember the old days when farmers were wiped out by TB.

Well the animals were wiped out

either by the disease or when they had to be killed

then the farmer was wiped out

with no stock.

Bovine TB is a big deal and

how the AHB deals with eradicating TB is also a big deal.

Nasty possums carry TB and 'kiss' cattle and

transfer TB to cattle.

To be fair to the possums

the dumb catlle also lick the dead possums

and catch it that way.

But to my point,

TBfree New Zealand have a youtube channel

here

Before you go there though,

if you are eating dinner

(shame on you for not focusing on what you are eating)

or if you have a squeamish tummy

you may not want to look at all the videos

but it is really interesting viewing.
