So, the industry study is kept secret while the the French study is available for open review. Sounds dishonest to me. Do you trust corporate CEOs? I think they are amoung the worlds most dangerous criminals. I was an industrial scientist for 40 years and worked with many of them. I know what they will do for wealth and control.

The best way to counter tumors is with Ruthenium nad Iridium Supplements, combined wiht colloidal silver, Two of these elements have been reported since the mid 80's to be anticancerous by Bristil Myers Squib, Colloidal Silver has been reporteb by the UK to be anticancerous its self, it stop bacterias that develop into tumors.

I would like anyone that says that GMO is harmless to be forced to eat it for a year. If they are still alive and illness free then I will except the pro-GMO argument that it is safe. If the GMO scientist wont eat it why should we?

It wouldn't be the first time results are fudged when it comes to testing GMOs, but it seems we are getting them regardless of whether they are safe or not. There's a parallel to the pharmaceutical industry here - the last stage of testing is on the populace at large once the drug is released for consumption. . . caveat emptor quite literally!

There are a number of inaccuracies in this article that need to be redressed.
Brian May inherited a rolling shooting rights contract through the land management company when he acquired the land over two years ago (before he became publically involved in standing against a badger cull). Dr May on advice from his land management company allowed the existing awarded contract to continue and took decision to monitor the outcome for a period of seven months before cessation on conclusion that the current land available was sufficient to support a healthy deer herd - all this has been published on a statement on Dr May's 'Save Me' Facebook campaign page.
Dr May DOES NOT accept the need to kill deer to protect trees and there is NO current contract on his land to shoot deer.
There is also no hypocrisy, an accusation levelled by Jan Rowe of cull management company GlosCon, in relation to the "apples and pears" comparisons as reported by the likes of the Sun and The Times concerning the pending badger cull, because his stance and that of his supporters in relation to the culling of badgers for alleged bTB control has not changed.
In fact the NFU have recently shown themselves to be culpable of "hypocrisy" by, and following on from DEFRA's previous statement that "all tools in the toolbox are being used to combat bTB", publishing an article in Farmers Weekly on behalf of South West farmers who believe that the newly imposed biosecurity measures due to take effect from 1 January 2013 should be postponed until the badger cull is underway. Non-controversial methods that could improve the overall health of their business.
The deaths of tens of thousands of cattle is also a misleading figure, given that this represents only 1% of the national dairy herd and that many more animals are comitted to slaughter through lameness and diseases other than bTB.
The Welsh government and participating farmers in the badger vaccination programme are to be commended however, for leading the way. One should also note that on the FERA vaccination programme enrolment site in repsonse to the question "do you have to vaccinate every badger?" the response is "No, only a proportion of the suseptable population... this is known as herd immunity ...". FERA is of course a department of DEFRA.
So whilst Dr May might in some eyes be acknowledged as being naieve [two years ago], something which he has admitted himself, "hypocrisy" is definitely not a correct term. Badgers are badgers and deer are deer and the current attempts by NFU, Countryside Alliance, recycled media et al to confuse the issue of science and personal ethics will ultimately fail, because some of us can actually tell the difference.

We can tell the difference, yes. Deer are deer, and despite any objections May, RSPCA etc. may have to the fact that culling them is widespread and perfectly legal - although they generally don't cause the deaths of thousands of cattle - this culling doesn't warrant an any-cull campaign. Badgers, which are far more numerous than deer in many areas of the UK and also cause massive environmental damage, are a different kettle of fish because ... er... they are ... er ... iconic? cuter? stripy? smaller? and so must be protected at all costs, even if the experts say they are responsible, on average, for 50% of confirmed cattle herd outbreaks in hotspot areas.
Even if the source of this is cleverly worded propaganda against May, it is great to see the boot on the other foot, since he has become an expert in doing the same by claiming all sorts of unscientific drivel when it comes to the efficacy of vaccination, irresponsible farmers being to blame, etc. etc. etc.

Culling deer sometimes happens for a reason.
Culling badgers is proven, yes proven, to serve no purpose.
Anti cull campaigners never say the do it because badgers are cuddly, stripy or lovable. They only point to the fact that a cull will not work.

The FUW now seem to be suggesting a partial badger cull to maintain or partially reduce the population of badgers. Knowing what we know about perturbation this would be the worst scenario.
They are just using an excuse to discredit Brian May. No matter if he culled his own grandmother it would not change the scientific argument that the proposed cull of badgers is proven to be the wrong approach.

Brian May is such an animal rights lover that he never bothered to look into the status of flora and fauna of his land, before purchasing it.
Brian May LYING and rationalizing it hindsight is one thing, what's even more hilariously tragic, bothersome, and pathetic are herds who are willfully rationalizing to themselves that a millionaire aging hipster who needs a new life's calling every midlife crisis, which at his age is practically ever other month, did not bother to do a land and resources survey before buying his said 'estate' and is now busy whining about how he "inherited" a deer-culling land?
LOLOLOL
Seriously?
No. Really? Some of you are that gullible enough to be spun by a modern day court jester way past his prime?
Seriously?
No wonder Britons are dumb enough to believe having over 2million+ govt CCTV cameras in London alone will automatically prevent crimes, or even make your lives secure.
You're so deeply living/drowning in a propaganda culture of artificial combines, aka 'urban centers,' you're completely clueless when a rich douchebag who can care less about badgers, let alone humans, lie to you for the latter half of his miserable life!
Seriously, when do you let anyone who has no clue about specialty fields dictate how you should live? Oh wait, you're all subjects, not citizens. Never mind.

Another pathetic attempt to harangue Brian May.
Amongst others, he has been making huge efforts to find a way of tackling the problem of bovine Tb.
Without involving the persecution of badgers.
Something that the Farming Union of Wales could be supporting, instead of making sniping remarks.
Or does the Farming Union of Wales not value its native wildlife?

As has been clearly proven the majority of the British public support Dr Brian May, the RSPCA and ANY OTHER person or organisation who is against this bloodthirsty and unscientific cull. As expected, the pro-cullers/hunters will always resort to insults, abuse and defamation when they don't get their way. Pathetic cowards. It has also been scientifically proven that culling badgers could make matters worse. the numbers of cattle slaughtered each year because of bTB pales into insignificance when compared to those slaughtered because of mastitis, lameness and infertility. We will continue our boycott of milk and dairy products which will be no hardship as we are finding dairy alternatives surprisingly good.

The Radical says :- As most food is produced on farms, the Adjudicator needs to understand why so much of producers subsidies end up in the pockets of Supermarkets and not farmers. Then he needs to understand that in a market there needs to be buyers as well as sellers. Then he needs do more than establish a Code of Practice but legislate to control Supermarkets exploitation of the market by putting a guaranteed base price on food.
Then the government should stop pussy footing around the important subject of food and appoint a Minister for Food.
All this probably means having a British Agricultural Policy for Britain, which implies leaving the EU and taking in house control.

Rabobank is correct in pin-pointing machinery as the input needing development. As farm commodity prices rise so methods change. Ten years ago oil seed rape was best planted as inexpensively as possible, behind the combine header was one system. With osr 3x as much it's worth spending more money on the agronomics, planting behind a subsoiler and getting that extra 1/2ton+ per acre. The new Practical Farm Ideas has a top home built design.

As someone who lives in Wales I do not understand why the FUW is getting upset about this. There is no plans for a bager cull in Wales, that has been made clear. Mr Grant was talking about England. The RSPCA do not say or act on anything until they have checked out what the science angle is. I agree with him on this one, I too was surprised with the language he used, but I would rather him have said this than sat on the fence. Lives can not be given back to these bagers once they are shot, and left to die a slow painfull death.

I think the European Antibiotic Awareness Day on the whole is a very healthy (excuse the pun!) thing. In terms of prescription for humans, antibiotics are hugely overprescribed, and can cause some serious issues like superbug C. difficile.
Of course vets should not be restricted with what they can or cannot prescribe, but surely, as in human medicine, more awareness is only a good thing.
I read about the campaign here http://www.optibacprobiotics.co.uk/blog/2012/11/antibiotic-awareness-day--18th-november.html and think its a positive step in the right direction.

There is no evidence that the welfare of hens kept in cages is worse than those kept on free-range. On the contrary at least 5 recent scientific review and papers have found the welfare to be on average better. Mortality rates are less than half for hens in cages plus their eggs are likely to be cleaner and the birds are much less likely to suffer from parasitic diseases. Hence hositals ought to use cage eggs in preference to free range unless they are sure the free-range eggs come from farms with much better than average performance. The RSPCA is misleading ministers and the public with this campaign that is not evidence-based, just emotive. However I agree with them regarding meat. There is good evidence that welfare is improved with higher than legal minimum standards for pigs and cattle.

A large number of the public that live among the cattle farming community see the devestation caused by this disease and to the farmers lives through loss of cattle. It is not the place of the RSPCA to take sides on this.lf the badgers are being shot legally as part of a cull, they should not be persecuted for this in any way. The CEO should stand down for taking the RSPCA in the wrong direction.

Less than 10% of cattle that are slaughtered for health reasons is TB related. What is the industry doing about the other 90% which are culled for infertility, mastitis, chronic lameness and other health issues and pathologies that cause immense suffering. The silence is deafening.

I am really pleased that someone is looking at this. A while ago I sprayed roundup believing it to be safe, the next day my dog ate some of the grass I had sprayed and was violently ill and had to be hospitalised. When I told the vet what had happened, he dismissed my thoughts as rubbish and my dog was treated for pancreatitus instead. When I took him off all medication he became well. Round up, is unsafe for animals and the labels should be changed.

When local authorities use glyphosate herbicides they do not warn residents that their neighbourhood has been sprayed.
We have no way of knowing if our pet is sniffing/ licking/ eating/ walking on recently sprayed vegetation. My authority, Newcastle upon Tyne, dismiss my suggestion that their spraying policy may be harming pets and humans.
I have good anecdotal evidence that it has harmed dogs in my locality.

Pete Riley conveniently forgets the GM-labelled food products that have been on sale in EU supermarkets for years and continue to be sold. Customers are clearly voting with their wallets.
But Pete knows the purpose of labelling claims by the anti-GM brigade: pious noises notwithstanding, the reason is to scare people off, not to inform them.

I think that claims made by the pro-GM brigade that the anti-GM brigade want to scare people off the GM products is all hot air and bluster from the pro-GM brigade. What they forget conveniently to tell people is that the GM products are not fully tested for long term impacts on humans and animals or the natural environment. Not 'Independently' tested that is. If they were a lot more people would be buying organic food products for both themselves and their pets.
But here is an interesting take on the recent labelling proposition in California. The pro brigade had their campaign bolstered with over $46 million to say no claiming among other things that it would cost jobs. Always a vote winner that one. This is despite the fact (please feel free to check this out for yourselves) that all the food that is produced in the US that is exported to the UK and the EU is labelled. Exactly the same food that is not labelled that goes onto the shop shelves in the US. Another claim they make is that it would confuse the customers. ??? Are they saying that we over here are more intelligent? Less easily confused?
Or are they simply frightened that with all the research coming out of the woodwork that suggests the industry controlled research is anything but as robust as the likes of Monsanto and Dow and Syngenta claim? Maybe profits do come before customer safety?

Labelling is needed because well designed independent tests have not been used in the approval process. An in depth recent study in France has shown that tumors appear after the timescale of the short tests done by the developers for the approval process.
Most manufacturers are keen to advertise their product widely, why do they want to keep GM secret?

This is great news about independent, commercial-scale but what about the so called "Farmscale" wind turbines.
If a farmer can afford to invest in a larger, or even medium wind turbine or work with a commmercial investment outfit, good luck to them. But its the small wind turbines (in our Gaia-Wind's case UK built) that are the true basis of individual energy independence. Increasingly this is the kind of alternative energy source making a real difference on the rural scene.
At Gaia-Wind, we are finding that our small wind turbine owners are able to make real changes to their lifestyle and to the arithmatic of their homes and businesses. Our owners are breaking free from rocketing energy price rises and at the same time finding ever more simple and efficient ways to use this expensive resource on farm.
These small wind (in our case 11kWh) turbines are generating real lifestyle and financial returns from the Three Card Trick.
Small wind turbine owners can:
• Offset their utilities bill by using their own energy – even switching from e.g. oil heating can be cost efficient
• Sell the remainder of energy generation back to the Grid; and
• Still receive considerable FIT payments of 21 p for every unit generated
This is real renewable energy: So be an "IMBY" and praise the turbine that goes In Your Back Yard.
