Just a quick adjoiner to this Paul.
If anyone in UK is feeding raw meats to their pets in Britain, please double check the source of them. Many are infected with Bovine TB. I became aware of many cases of this. It has also affected zoos with the deaths of some (tiger in Paignton zoo was one such case).
The problem lies in an inaccurate skin test for Bovine TB in Cattle. Many are actually passing the test, but harbour TB and the infection is in their meat.
Incidentally, badgers have little to do with Btb in cattle or cows, yet our illustrious government has seen fit to slaughter (indiscrimately) 75,000 of them in the last year. The Badger is an iconic and protected species but is being systematically wiped out because of lack of insight into the spread of Bovine TB in herds.
