Badger Cull what has it gained ?

I am appalled at how many badgers have been culled .
I simply don't believe this will help stop TB in cows .

I agree with you Muddy.
They won't be happy until they have killed every badger, and then what will they blame when TB still keeps happening?

You may find this man interesting, though some of it old print now:

This is more recent, just this February in fact.
Amazing how the cops turn a blind eye to what suits 'em is not it.

It's a dreadful thing they are doing to the badgers. They don't even check them for TB so they are killing perfectly healthy animals as well as some that may or may not be affected.
There is a vaccination that can be given to badgers to stop TB in them, but the government won't use it as it's expensive to administer.
A friend of mine had all the wild badgers in her woods inoculated at her own expense, but it didn't stop the government from culling the area where she lives, she had known the badgers, all of them for years & they were friendly to her. She was devastated.

I don't blame your friend for being devastated Tiff, so would I have been. That's dreadful.
Murdering swines.
