@Dipturus2@bbcquestiontime@Minette_Batters It actually has made a difference, overall numbers decreased when a nation wide cull happened around 2017, has to be done more effectively now to make a significant difference. there's a number of preventative measures farmers put in place, hoops to jump through, this is honesty
@Dipturus2@bbcquestiontime@Minette_Batters Then are you not sorry for the 10,000+ cows that are culled each year because they contracted the TB from badgers? Or the farmers who have to watch their pride and joy shot in front of them?
The world keeps turning, in spite of events in Westminster. In the Netherlands, farmers are protesting at plans advanced by the Hague that they say will see 30 per cent of Dutch farms close.
Food security is rising up the global political agenda.

Panorama. Yes cruelty happens on some farms, it’s never right. In my experience it’s far from the norm and actually becoming rarer. What is becoming more common is farmers suffering mental health crises and feeling disconnected from society, compassion is the greatest of virtues.
Here we go, none of the tasters have been bribed or have any personal investment in the experiment I’m including as a beef and sheep farmer . Let’s see what my puppies think of both products . @OatlyUK @NFU_Dairy 🤔

@ZaynafamilyMary@BBCNews Antibiotics and hormones are only if necessary, the milk from cows with them in its system is dumped so they legally don't enter the shelves! If farmers are caught with milk with traces of it they are heavily fined. Also, if you've ever set foot on one you'd know it isn't cruel
@whittledaway There is no such thing as UK food security already! We import too much, we don't grow enough to support our expanding population. If you think we are food secure say that to the U-boats in the next war!
