hunterswind, you've made this point at least 4 times throughout the thread. Can we now try to keep the thread to its original topic? Feel free to start another thread if there are any other TV presenters you'd like to challenge

yawn !!! You've made this point quite clear too methinks. Off to a more enteraining and sensible thread

Do continue to sign the petition, those who agree with it of course Or start a new thread to discuss anything not related to the petition, please.

There is still no firm evidence that it will make much difference. Even the huge government commissioned trial concluded that "badger culling can make no meaningful contribution to cattle TB control in Britain" and they had to kill almost 11,000 badgers to find that out.
I can't understand why it's still even being discussed.

I have signed both petitions and I have passed it on to other concerned friends. I have also posted the links on some other message boards.

lol unless it involves questions about how to kill the various animlas in the countryside I think you and your 'friend' may loose....

back on the subject of the thread petition signed, since the science says the cull wont work, even if badgers are a significant vector (most research shows this isnt the case). Better efforts to seperate the badgers from the cattle and the feed is the answer

i have just signed the petition.
if we are to cull badgers due to btb then we must also cull birds as they can carry bird flu.
everything carries something that can harm something else, killing is not the answer. if the government spent as much on finding cures for illnesses as it does on finding better ways to kill things, then, i for one would be a much happier person.

i've never seen a badger but i still signed it why should we slaughter hundreds or so animals because of some probably unproven scientific evidence
(correct me if im wrong)
if a person has a cold we don't kill lots of people to stop it spreading

I think you explained everything in simple words :-)

I did it and I will pass the address to friends too.
