Yes, that's what it's really all about, catslave.
Catherine, where I live Badgers could easily come in contact with cattle. In the summer time cows are outside in the fields except for milking time for a couple of hours twice a day. Also cows come in contact with places where Badgers have urinated, or latrine areas. And at dawn and dusk they do encounter each other.
But it is becoming obvious cattle management/stock movements/cattle markets etc are connected with the spread of Bovine TB, and NOT Badgers. It's my guess that if Badgers have been found with TB, then it is highly likely they caught it from the cattle, and not the other way round.
What surprises me is that no-one seems to be taking notice of the evidence. As catslave says, it is all about money."Follow the money" and there will be the answer I think.
