Unless of course we go the irish route and wipe then completly out in a huge area. yes that worked in ireland. Sad though. Thing is because of that DEFRA have put pressure on the NFU to back this solution.

It's a bit like nuking London to stop the spread of HIV there.

Thing is we have to start thinking outside the box on this one. Seems to me the resistance of some badgers to the disease has a key. So rather than the enemy, they may actually present a solution if we funded research on it.

Unless we kill every badger in the west country this cull will have no effect; so its also in the long term a false economy.

Indeed localized badger culls are often rejected bcause it is alleged that it actually increases the rate of infection some how. Wouldn't be because DEFRA are so useless at it would it? Because if that is so, then this will definitely not work.

But doing nothing is not an option so rather than a petition alternative strategy needs to be put forward. If there were a vaccine, how would it be delivered? It isn't so simple. But neither is this cull.
