Jeremy Clarkson says his cows have TB.
Again.
He also claims to have already killed the badgers on his farm. So what now?
This is the ugly truth about bovine TB that the government and the farming lobby don’t want to admit: killing badgers doesn’t work.
For over a decade, tens of thousands of badgers have been shot, trapped, and slaughtered across England in a cruel, unscientific cull — justified on the promise that it would reduce TB in cattle.
But here we are. 2025. Clarkson’s cows have TB. The badgers are already dead. The infection is still spreading.
Why? Because this was never about solving TB. It was about blame.
The reality is:
•Most bovine TB spreads from cow to cow, not badger to cow.
•Cattle testing is outdated, unreliable, and misses infected animals.
•Long-distance cattle movements across the country continue, unchecked.
•Biosecurity is ignored while wildlife takes the fall.
Clarkson isn’t an anomaly. He’s the symptom of a broken system — one where farmers are encouraged to kill wildlife instead of fix the real problem.
We don’t need more culling. We need truth, science, and compassion.
🦡 End the badger cull. Fix the system
