As a nature lover I am disgusted by the badger cull which begins in August in 2 locations.
Even some of the scientists are against it saying it will be ineffective and will not make any difference.
Badgers were here long before cows, it makes my blood boil as a nature lover and makes it easier for farmers to blame something for TB outbreaks.There is no justification for it.
Just imagine if the TB rate goes down in the 2 cull areas, what next, a nationwide cull?
It makes you want to join an animal rights group and protest, is there any point writing to someone?
Poor, beautiful, innocent animal gets the blame again
If all the badgers and cows are culled then TB would disappear. Instead of culling the badgers, why not cull the cows instead? As Coppo says, the badgers were here first.
Seriously though, I also think there is sufficient scientific doubt about the efficacy of culling badgers to make the whole thing a waste of time.
The badger population around us has exploded exponentially over the last 30 years. I’ve lived in the country here off and on throughout my 60 plus years. When I was a child it was a rarity to see a badger set. Now I can take you to half a dozen large ones within half a mile of my house and it is impossible to travel more than a dozen miles on our roads without seeing one of them as road kill.
They are beginning to be a real problem in some areas as far as damage to the rural infrastructure is concerned let alone the link to TB. What do you suggest we do?

Rather than getting our knickers in a twist now why not wait until the results of the cull are in. That will decide it one way or the other.
If it proves it the cull will go nationwide, if it proves against that will be the end of it. In the culled areas badgers will re colonise over a few years. Simples!! Neil
Debs on the other hand dead set against the cull !!

Not a thousanth as much damage as human beings do to the rural infrastructure.
There is a whole lot of false information coming out from both sides I think Coppo. It's become political (with a small p if you know what I mean)
The reason its become political is because the powers that be know full well the outcry which is beginning to ensue when a stupid, pointless idea originally bandied about by farmers is now becoming real.
