The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust has launched a campaign against bovine tuberculosis, as an attempt to curb the disease spreading among the cattle whereas the supporters of a widespread culling have claimed that the move will be ineffective.

However, the group of people that believe the disease is communicated from cow to cow have greeted the trust efforts to play a role in controlling the disease raged through England last year. It resulted in the execution of around 25,000 cattle.

The Policy Adviser of the National Farmers Union, John Royle, said that there are no evidences to support the statement that vaccinating badgers will lead to a reduction in the disease in cattle.

"We believe co-ordinated control of badgers in those areas is the most effective way of dealing with this terrible disease, for both cattle and badgers", added the Policy Adviser. "It would take many years for vaccination to have any meaningful impact, particularly in the areas where the TB in cattle is high and many of the badgers are already infected".

Additionally, the Environment Minister, John Griffiths, marked TB as the subject of widespread attention and considerable debate and assured that Welsh Government will put in concerted efforts to check the further spread of the disease.
