Opinion: Welsh government 'dreadfully wrong' in its approach to bovine TB.

It speaks volumes when the very first slide shown at a Welsh government presentation to farmers about the current bovine TB situation is an advert for a farming mental health charity. I am sick and tired of government officials lecturing overworked and under-resourced livestock farmers about farming practices being responsible for the continued increase in bovine TB. While a pledge of £47,000 this summer to support the excellent DPJ Foundation is to be hugely applauded, I would guess that a large number of mental health problems in the farming community here come at least in part from the pressure of coping with bovine TB.
