Unbelievable, what’s happening in Wales #TB Please watch this video and share Far and wide . Massive thank you to Anthony and Rhian for being so brave and showing what happened today on their farm. This must end Welsh government need to look at the evidence in England that the reduction in Badger numbers
Firstly I feel sorry for the farmer and his family to be put through this. You can see the stress it’s causing him and they wonder why there is a high rate of suicide in the farming community. How many animals are slaughtered a year, what’s the amount paid out by the government every year? All because some vegans want to save the badgers. What about saving the farmers lives and the cattle or do they not count? Support your local farmers before they are all gone
This needs to be shown on TV absolutely heart breaking
My heart goes out to that poor family, people please look at this and really appreciate our farmers ,its not just the money it's the love the bloody hard work that they put in day in day out ,no matter what the weather or if they feel ill ,just give them the support they deserve 😢
Well done Gareth for showing the true reality of what is really going on. Surely this will wake the public up to lobby the MPs to get it sorted.
MP's getting things sorted? That would be a new experience...
I’m so sorry to see this. Very very difficult for the farmers. Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. Very sad…
What an awful and sad loss.
The worst part of all this is the autopsy afterwards and being told the blood test was wrong and the animals were clear. I grew up in dairy farming and this is sickening to see animals dying for no reason.
Exactly I lost rare breed goats all the tests were inconclusive. It broke me and the attitude of the defra vet that came to destroy them was awful no compassion at all , rude and had an attitude about her . Better testing needed , vaccines and defiantly better trained defra vets .
I don’t know how you farmers cope physically, financially and emotionally, it’s a complete mental nightmare. Look after each other
Well done Gareth for showing the true reality of what is really going on. Surely this will wake the public up to lobby the MPs to get it sorted. What an awful and sad loss.
Heartbreaking 😢 so sorry for the farmer and his family. Those in government who make the policies re TB and badger culling should be sent this video. People of Wales need to be constantly writing to their MP’s about this as livelihoods are being destroyed.
This just breaks my heart, I dread to think what it does to the farmers 💔
As a beef & sheep farmer myself, this was very difficult to watch and can see the pain your going through having to do this to your livestock. A worrying time every year when it comes to test. Stay strong 💪🏻
I’m heartbroken for the farmer, other farmers like him and the farming community. I’m choked with emotion looking at this film. Support the farmers- no farmers, no food, no future. Digon yw Digon
All badger huggers should be forced to watch this 😢
There is no proven link between badgers and TB this about destroying animals and farmers there is no need to destroy these animals TB tests are like the pcr tests a scam.
they would celebrate because they live in lala land!
How would people feel if it was their own dog or cat. For something that is avoidable.
I am heartbroken for these poor farmers & those poor unborn calves dying slowly inside their dead mothers😢
Absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to you all.
Im a dairy herd manager, 45 years old , I've seen and done this , its so wrong and hurts like hell , tb cull in England is working , take note Welsh assembly
This is so sad to see. I’ve had heavily in calf cows shot on farm with TB and it is very stressful for everyone.We are lucky in Cornwall to have the Badger cull and has made a huge difference to TB reduced.We now have Hedgehogs in the garden first time for twenty years.Take care.
And the people who object to badger culls are the same people who say badgers don't kill hedgehogs!
Hard to watch 😢, heart goes out to this poor farmer and all the others struggling
This is a video that makes it hard to click the like button for the algorithm 😢
Omg, I'm so sad for the farmer, their cattle are family, this needs to stop. Control the badgers. I do wonder if its all part of the plan to get rid of farming to reach this INSANE NET ZERO
While you're obsessively blaming it on badgers, the real reason is still out there. Areas in England that have wiped out badgers have seen no change in TB at all. You need to read sources that are not just pro cull folks. You put everything into the hope badgers are to blame but they are not. Look at Scotland, there are a record number of badgers here, i know of at least 100 setts in my local area but TB cases are very, very low if at all. Sometimes i feel farmers hatred for badgers cloud their judgement on a lot of this. Why not just look to Scotland?
@@LlywelynapGruffydd How did you come to a conclusion that TB is a real disease?
@@LlywelynapGruffydd So where is the tb coming from?
@@LlywelynapGruffyddSometimes I feel gullible idiots who believe something written by other idiots with a vested interest in promoting lies are as great a problem as the badgers. This video is the heartbreaking reality, yet YOU can't see it & obviously don't care. Shame on you.
Absolute bloody disgrace, are things ever going to change. Seems unlikely! Yet the badger huggers keep going with a smile on their ignorant faces and farming families are being ruined on a daily basis
Government needs to sort this shit out it’s a disgrace
Don’t rely on government, they are the reason we are in this mess. They are being worked from behind, we need more independent minded people in that place called west minster.
This is disgusting, animal cruelty of the highest order. And it won’t make a damn bit of difference to the amount of TB around either. How is this allowed to keep going on?
More forestry, more deer, more TB. Where I live on the kildare/wicklow county boundary in Ireland the area is a TB black spot, yet badgers aren't all that common, what has happened jn recent years though is that there's been a lot of new forestry plantations set up, this has led to an explosion in the deer population, which coincides with increased incidents of herds going down with TB, I have spoken to several deer hunters who have said they regularly bag deer that are infected with TB.
Nonsense. TB is not a real disease.
Maybe both badgers & deer spread it?
@@gillycooper8717 I'm not saying badgers don't carry TB, but I don't believe badgers are the entire cause of the problem.
Absolutely devastating
Unnecessary when antibiotics could solve the problem and save the heartbreak. I'm so sorry for the farmer and his familyvand and workers. Our Senedd is cruel and corrupt
Farmer to farmer I'm sorry you had to go through this 😞 it's never easy to go through this , when you have seen them come in to this world and grow up ❤️
Thank you Gareth for this video absolutely bonkers the Welsh government has definitely got to get its head out of the sand box its bad enough to cull one animal but been pregnant as well its a double kick in the nuts 😤😤😢
These farmers develop an emotional attachment to these cattle. Very caring and loving what they do. So sorry. Keep the faith.
If people treated their pets like that, they would get prosecuted.But doesnt seem to matter about farmers and our animals ☹️☹️☹️
Don't blame the farmers, blame the idiots who think Badgers are cute & the weak politicians who ignorantly & wilfully prevent culling - neither group cares about killing heavily pregnant cows & their unborn calves. The farmer suffers the double pain of seeing his animals killed, but huge financial losses enough to bankrupt him (or her).
OMG. thatnis absolutely horrific an a down right shame...poor cows lovely animals..an the poor farmer looking on Heartbreaking for him..the government has a lot to answer for there..shame on them
Criminal how the small food producers are being attacked.
I feel for you you need to vote them out
what is the world coming to, so so sad to see this , as if farming wasn't hard enough as it is
Feels so wrong to like the video but we must. Consumers are so far removed from reality and I include myself here.
OMG THATS TERRIBLE 😢😢
Would you do an interview with Trinity Vandenacre @LifeintheWest? Seems like issues for farmers and ranchers are the same all over.
Absolutely heartbreaking things need to be done😢
very sad day
Absolutely heartbreaking on so many levels 💔💔💔
This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔
I am so sorry this has happened. It is shocking I will pray for your farmers and families. ❤❤❤❤
harsh reality.
You may of been able to do C-C-section if the calf’s were far enough along. The calf’s May of been okay.
I just heard to day in Canada, farming is obsolete. My heart is acking for you, they are killing out the farms all over the world.
Farming is NOT obsolete in Canada. The Trudeau government is trying to make it obsolete
So sad Shared..
Heart breaking
So SAD AND So UPSETTING. 🙏🙏
Being a dairy Farmer from Minnesota this is just hard to watch,
Gareth given your campaigning I would not trust them as far as you can throw them. Including the vets.
Whats the bets the autopsy will come back clear🙈
Definitely not TB as it is a fake disease.
I read the title and just couldn’t watch. It is SO sad and SO unnecessary!
Brutal
Why was the cattle not taking of farm to be slaughtered or is it different in Wales the England
I feel the chemical trails these planes are leaving to drop in the air is the problem ! So sorry you had to go through this .
the job is hard enough without TB which could easily be drastically reduced.
What is killing the cows. ? I dont understand it. What this tb thats being mentioned ?
That’s the trouble nobody seems to listen to farmers we had tb few reactors last year them all of a sudden they were fine I can’t put on here what was said but it worked we are in mid wales
What the hell??
I can't watch this 😢
Honest question, is there no way for them to euthanise the calves before the death of its mother? Or would it not be possible? So sad, the family are so heartbroken 😢
It can be done by a vet but it is crazy expensive hence why it won't be dine by a farmer losing loads of money.
Down right disgraceful
Very very cruel
i give you a thumbs up but nope i cant watch this. everywhere we have people making rules and laws who are as dumb as newborn chicks and so removed from what they are doing this is another example. i feel so bad for the poor farmer.
Why did you kill them
I don't understand why we can't vaccinate the cattle - after all they're vaccinating some badgers. This video is heartbreaking, people need to understand that farmers care for their livestock.
It is all fraud. Do your research if you want to know more about it.
I feel sorry for the farmers but also the animals , 50 plus years on TB has still not been stopped . I don’t think defra want to stop it , most are keyboard warriors and don’t have a bloody clue what it’s like , plus testing needs to be better , so many inconclusive animals destroyed unnecessary. I’ve had to deal with it and defra and they seem to have no compassion at all .
All very well blaming badgers but sheep are not tested for TB they could be spreading it .
Why are they killing the pregnant cows
NOT NICE
Sorry BUT "The Tory Boys" will be no help!
Look on the bright side you still have thousands of badgers
You horrible heartless person. If THAT'S the good news, don't bother telling me the bad news.
While you're obsessively blaming it on badgers, the real reason is still out there. Areas in England that have wiped out badgers have seen no change in TB at all. You need to read sources that are not just pro cull folks. You put everything into the hope badgers are to blame but they are not.

Sometimes i feel farmers hatred for badgers cloud their judgement on a lot of this. Why not just look to Scotland?
it's the legged badger you have to worry about
There are no real cases of TB because TB is not a real disease.
Totally agreed! It is a bacteria that can be transferred in many ways not just from badgers. The majority of tb cases come from farmers making irresponsible and sometimes illegal movements. Let's not forget those dodgey twats in Wales that were duplicating cattle and swapping ear tags! You don't see any of these farmers kicking off about them! Let's just blame a badger and when they are all gone and the Lesions are still being found, who will they blame then? It will be bloody rabbits or hedgehogs next....
