Badgers - Black and White campaign

Tragus · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2006, 06:10 PM

I hope that no one takes offence at this post, and I fervently hope that this will not become a huge debate that ends in post being erased. I only wish to draw people's attention to the fact that badgers may die needlessly because of a proposed cull.

Whilst I have EVERY sympathy for farmers who 'feel' that badger's are the cause of TB in their herds, I don't believe it to be so scientifically proven that it requires the deaths of hundreds of badgers.

I and hundreds of folks like me have already risen to the request of wildlife groups etc., and sent letters and emails to DEFRA requesting that this not to distant cull is stopped, before it's too late too save the European badger from near or total extinction in this country.

If you DON't agree with me, then please feel free to start another thread, but I beg you to allow others to make up their own minds up by visiting this site

Thank you for taking time to read this thread.

Good for you Tragus. I don't feel it is justified to cull badgers either. Strange, I just can't imagine anyone wanting to get involved in such a scheme.

The nice man from Cornwall Badgers put across the arguments well I do not, myself, see the need for a mass cull(kill) it does seem to be an easy option
This gives new meaning to the term Badgering(to harass persistently)
