said pulmonary (lung) tuberculosis in humans is death-anxiety conflict.
Badgers are just the scapegoat for the factory farming of
dairy cows (and Allopathy Inc disease racket), shown by their
lifespan, culled at 5-7 years when they can live for
over 22. Fed on monocultures of grass (heavily chemically NPK fertilised
see ryegrass usually, instead of organic farmed permanent leys with 15 or more
varieties of herbs and grasses), and concentrates containing grain (see)
and
soya. Traumatised by calf removal and then made pregnant while
lactating. Bred to produce up to 12 gallons, many times more than
they would produce in nature (the Pilgrim Father cows, c.
1620,
produced up to a quart, so 50 times that now
1 ). Also shown by the need to
Pasteurise
milk, the use of prophylactic
Antibiotics
and the outbreaks of e
coli.
Bovine TB cost's the UK
taxpayer 100 million yearly
(36,000 killed in 2015). The medical industry
would rather the taxpayer went bust than admit diseases like TB are due to
stress and nutrition---it would bust
The Disease Protection Racket,
the gravy train that is Allopathy Inc.
And the dairy industry is behind the Foot and mouth (FMD)
slaughter.
It is pure barbarism (Reptilian
consciousness) to kill animals for disease control (this also
killed over 50 farmers through suicide with last UK FMD outbreak---FMD suicides,
see also
Monsanto induced
Farmer
suicides). They
also need to keep up the mass production of one of their prime
junk foods (Pasteurized
milk, and green milk also),
not forgetting it is the very first junk food, called
Baby milk,
the main villain, after vaccination, in child illness--$$$.]

[2016 Sept] Class Action Settlement: US Dairy Industry to Pay $52 Million in Price-Fixing Conspiracy that Killed Cows and Cheated Consumers In all, this dairy industry program was responsible for killing 500,000 young cows and cheating millions of consumers — all to line the pockets of agribusiness giants....According to Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman, “The biggest dairy producers in the country, responsible for almost 70 percent of the nation’s milk, conspired together in a classic price-fixing scheme, forcing higher prices for a basic food item onto honest consumers and families.” (full press release available)
Quotes
Where does this particularly virulent strain come from? It's not
found in the intestinal tracts of cattle raised on their natural
diet of grass, hay and other fibrous forage. No, O157 thrives in
a new - that is, recent in the history of animal diets -
biological niche: the unnaturally acidic stomachs of beef and
dairy cattle fed on grain, the typical ration on most industrial
farms. It's the infected manure from these grain-fed cattle that
contaminates the groundwater and spreads the bacteria to
produce, like spinach, growing on neighboring farms.
In 2003, The Journal of Dairy Science noted that up to
80 percent of dairy cattle carry O157. (Fortunately, food safety
measures prevent contaminated fecal matter from getting into
most of our food most of the time.) Happily, the journal also
provided a remedy based on a simple experiment. When cows were
switched from a grain diet to hay for only five days, O157
declined 1,000-fold.
Factory Farms & E. coli by
Nina Planck
''I see TB not as a so-called 'infectious' disease. The fact is, the mode of transmission remains unknown (Professor David Macdonald). This means there may not be a mode of transmission, which I claim to be the case. TB is an internal metamorphosis that manifests through an environmental toxin such as a poison or contaminated drinking water or nuclear pollution or pesticides. TB is homeostasis, the body in self protection mode. Its the actual cause of TB that is the issue, not TB, which is the body trying to protect itself. Therefore TB is not infectious. The science is a fraud, but few can accept that regardless that it is so.' -- John Wantling, Rochdale
Owners put the dairies next to whisky distilleries in order to feed cows a cheap, unhealthy diet of spent mash called distillery slop. They were remarkably efficient. In 1852, three quarters of the milk drunk by the 700,000 residents of New York City came from distillery dairies. 'Slop milk' was so poor it could not even be used to make butter or cheese. Unscrupulous distillery dairy owners sometimes added sugar, starch, or flour to give body to the pale, thin milk. Others thinned it with water to make more money. Conditions were unhygienic. Bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis were common and cow mortality was high. The people milking cows were often dirty or sick. As distillery dairies became common in the early 1800s, many deaths from diseases such as infant diarrhea, scarlet fever, typhoid, undulant fever, and human tuberculosis were caused by contaminated milk. Infant mortality (often due to diarrhea and tuberculosis) rose sharply, accounting for nearly half of all deaths in New York City in 1839. Reformers blamed the slop milk industry and some began to call for pasteurization, which kills pathogens such as tuberculosis that could be carried in contaminated milk.
