Lifted this off the Guardian article:

So the debate continues. It's an argument about science, politics and economics. It centres on protecting food animals from harm, just as our ancestors have done since farming first got started. But, to me, it also raises interesting questions about how we see ourselves and other animals. It's about how much we see ourselves as a "dominant" species, entitled to subjugate the needs of other animals beneath our own. It's about how much room we demand as a human population (with a taste for milk and beef) and how much room we're prepared to make for wildlife.

And let's not forget, if it hadn't been for us, cattle and badgers might not have had TB in the first place
