Bovine TB

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Spelman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Bovine TB.
The science determines the level of mortality that must be achieved for the controlled reduction to be effective, and a 70% reduction in the badger population is what the RBCT trial showed had to be achieved. One key point of the six-week pilot is to confirm our assumption that controlled shooting will achieve that level of reduction in the badger population.
