Responding to the British Veterinary Association President’s comments on Bovine TB, shadow rural affairs secretary, Paul Davies AM, has said:
“Labour’s failure to put the necessary measures in place to tackle the scourge of Bovine TB continues to have a huge impact on our rural communities - both emotionally and economically.
“To date, the action taken has not gone far enough in eradicating this awful disease and we hope this latest intervention by Dr Neil Paton is given serious consideration by the Welsh Government.
“There is a clear requirement for a more holistic approach and the Welsh Government’s strategy should include all the tools at its disposal to ensure we eliminate Bovine TB in both our cattle and wildlife population.”
