Not really surprised. I imagine it would be very hard for a judge to rule against the policy an elected body, no matter what the reasons for that policy.
What is really sad is that this will be very costly and not very effective in tackling TB in Welsh cattle. |

What do you think would be the best way to tackle TB in Pembrokeshire? |

Does anyone know if there are any areas of the country that have no badgers, and whether they have bTB? |

But I am sure they have had Bovine Tb at some point because cows can spread it. |

| How do the badgers reach the counter in the ticket office?
I'm just appalled at the destruction of thousands of animals and their ancient setts, which might in some cases have been inhabited since the last ice age, and I'm scratching around for some argument against the madness. Not that I can do a thing about it. It's just deeply depressing.
There seems to be a style of thinking in some people that classifies some animals as good, and others as vermin, and will not listen to reason. Once an animal is labelled as vermin it will be killed whenever possible. I fear the Pembrokeshire badgers have become victims of this sort of thinking, and not good evidence of any sort. |

But I dont think many Badgers and especially not setts are destroyed.
I guess it is a solution that is needed. Stop drinking milk maybe. By the way at Lymington the Badgers just go inside the ticket office....the counter is straight ahead and there is a chair on the right hand side.
They just climb on that. | | | |
