are there studies that the decimating of
Badgers really influenced TBC in your country positive ? We tried this with foxes and rabies.. we tried to extinct them, it was nothing but a slaughter..but the only one we nearly extincted was the
Badgers , who is no carrier of rabies usually. But even we decimated the foxes that much, it had not really an effect on rabies. As mice are the main problem .The rabies we exctincted , when we developed a vaccine, that we could give wild foxes. TBC is also transmitted by mice.....
SO.. i am not sure if the restrictless killing of
Badgers would really have the wanted result....
