I have grave misgivings about the bager cull and have written with a farmer and a vet to an MP about it.
There is absolutly no doubt in my mind that TB is cross species .
if it wer being transferd to houshold pets by rats there would be a massacre.
Indeed there alrady is a massacre of rats.
Ah but thy have ugly tails don't thy silly me nor cute lik badgrs.
however I can assure you there is NOTHING cute abut a grumpy sick TB infctd
Badger.
Let the farmers kill them when they see it. Cull them in that particular area.
A mass cull is unecessarry and indiscrimniate in my opinion. However, to sign the petition would be to fly in the face of reason.
It is just as important for the
Badgers as the cattle to bring this epidemic to a halt. But I agree a mass cull is not the way. If a farmer sees it, the governemnt should respond just there and nearby. A further zone could be stablished to take samle sfrom badgrs. Wherever it is found they must be culled.
Yes you are correct in some ways Freckled Elm. It is all about money. But I don't know any farmers who have made any in the last ten years.
The money comes in here.
It would be possible at massive cost to find a solution to this scientifically.
But then a society that would rather blame smoking than find the cure for lung cancer because it will cost too much to vaccinate 70 million people against lung HPV is not going to spend any money on vaccinating
Badgers. The vaccination against cervical HPV for 13 and 14 year old girls will cost ?350 a head and they don't know how to pay for that.
But if something is not done to halt the spread; then we will see the end of
Badgers in the UK. But mass culls are indiscriminate and will fail to tackle the problem.
........... something needs to be done........ Downing St will confidently be able to ignore 303 folks no problem........
