Pity I don't have time either. I guess we'll never know whether bovine TB is a "problem" in some areas or not. Meanwhile, give me the minimal risks of raw food [bovine TB (couldn't find any cases), salmonella (couldn't find any cases) and bones (1 case)] over processed food [periodontal disease (72% of US ferrets), choking on kibble (in the top 10 list of accidental injuries/deaths) and insulinoma (15% of US ferrets)] any day! shona [Posted in FML issue 4781]
