A prominent ecologicalist states that an independent evaluation of the latest study Bezer kuling There is a “bomb” of the evidence of the government used to justify the policy.
Tom Langton, a bezer expert, said that the government should indicate to end the shooting program by a top statistics professor. Bear To try to eradicate bovine tuberculosis (BTB).
Professor Mark Brever, director of Biometics and Statistics Scotland, who reviewed the paper, concluded: “The justification for the fatal control of the badges appears to be based on basic statistical monitoring.”
He also wrote: “I would also say that, in such a controversial region, it is naive to imagine that a single analysis by a special group of scientists should be sufficiently seen.”
A study by Mr. Langton and colleagues published by The Royal Society criticized scientists, who believed that the unemployed was successful in reducing the cooling BTBClaiming that he made coding errors.
Last week, Independent revealed That government body Natural England Was this year Re -selfish Supplementary license to continue Beer Cools across England – against advice from his own scientific head.
An estimated 5,000 baazers will be shot dead from the new cools.
The government has already started setting up teams to increase unemployment vaccination and has started a Bejar Population Survey.
It announced on Wednesday that the unemployed TB vaccination increased by 24 percent in England last year, which was said that 4,110 bacteria were vaccinated.
But controversially, ministers also re -incorporated a panel of experts led by Professor Sir Charles Godfrey, who have long supported and assessed random Bazar Kaling Trial (RBCT), concluding that Kalinga reduced the spread of proliferation in bovine TB.
Prof. Beaver wrote: “A very sufficient number of publications that relax on a large scale or fully on RBCT statistical analysis may require major qualifications or return.”
Mr. Langton called for earlier papers, on which the governments have frequent the evidence to continue the evidence, to withdraw.
He said: “The ideas of the independent critic should help take a debris ball in a large amount of approved unemployment science.
“This suggests how misunderstandings can form a policy of poor government, if the figures are not checked properly and brings many claims to life that the public has been cheated on Bejar Kalinga for more than a decade.”
Beer lobist The argument is that more scripulus hygiene on the fields reduces TB,
Wild justice organization, jointly under the leadership of naturalist Chris PaqamTogether with the Bejar Trust, Bajar Kaling has won permission for a complete judicial review.
RBCT, which lasted from 1998 to 2005, suggested a decrease in TB infections in total areas, but its conclusions were disputed due to “disturbances” effects, where the Baazers of the targeted families moved beyond their natural areas, potentially risking the disease with them.
It is estimated that 250 letters have been published using RBCT results.
Professor of Applied Statistics at Oxford University, Epidemiologist Professor Crystal Donley told Independent In the light of recent correspondence, they will make some minor tweaks for some of their models.
He said, “Importantly, the situation does not change: repeatedly widely uninterrupted cooling can reduce the risks of bovine TB, which can reduce cattle for cattle inside the surrounded areas, while the cattle can increase the risk on uncommon lands,” he said.
A spokesman for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: “TB has destroyed British farmers and wildlife for a very long time.
“We are rolling a comprehensive TB eradication package that will allow us to eliminate the Beer Cool and prevent the spread of this frightening disease.
“This includes launching the National Wildlife Surveillance Program for the first time to understand the disease better and to work to increase the unemployed vaccination in the pace.”
