Kill the Cull, Not England's Badgers

Time is running out for England's badgers -- 7 out of 10 are slated to be shot in two trail areas; if the full policy is then rolled out up to 130,000 badgers in England could be killed. Not only is the government's policy misguided, HSI is greatly concerned that many thousands of badgers could be injured and left to suffer a slow and painful death. Live in the UK?

Whats more important-badgers or cattle?I love the way that the poor cattle who get the disease are overlooked in this-i hope they will eliminate the badgers-more the merrier.Badgers are an ugly vicious animal and on my holding i make quick work of them.They do spread TB no doubt,i`ve seen local incidences.If the science proved opposite would the badger fans be in full acceptance?

This is a remarkable film that deserves to be shown much more widely than just on Youtube. Please watch it, take the messages from it; and use all your social networking contects to tell everyone about the pointless unethical horrific badgercull. Like it says on the film, cattle testing, biosecurity and vaccination will mean we don't need to kill 50% of the south-west badgers to protect the profits of England dairy farmers.

How can you see badgers spread TB? It is illegal to kill badgers and your admittance above is shameful. As with many in your position, killing seems to be the only thing you understand. I don't suppose you've seen a cow transmit TB have you? No I didn't think so.

Niall Lyons us being the top of the food chain doesn't give us the right to kill thousands of badgers, that's like saying that a stronger and smart human being has the right to perform geniside because he/she is higher on the food chain

[Niall Lyons]

what a load of scutter!!people didnt just arrive on this planet overnight didnt you hear of hunter-gatherers,,,yes!! I agree that human population is completely unsustainable and we ourselves could do with a major disease or something to knock bak our nums but that doesnt mean that we hav no place in the countryside,were just another animal at the end ov the day ,and also pretty high up on the food chain for that matter so for me ,thats what gives me the right to take anothr animals life!!

[Niall Lyons]

badger vaccination,improved bio security etc?? okay!! might solve part of the btb problem in long term but amazes me,as i've said time and time again how little concern you lot have for the damage this massive badger population is inflicting on our native wildlife,especially ground nesting birds and amphibians etc as they're a major predator like it or not the whole btb thing is just one part of this arguement..the ecological devastation this badger pop is causing is quite another!!
