well seems english farmers are being encouraged to have running badgers shot at night this protected specis.shooting them at night unbelievably dangerous even with skilled marksman,at least well over half need be shot and at best only transitory benefit and risk spreading bovine tb even higher.we do not do something soon be byby badger.98%have voted on bbc naturephile but goverment taking no notice at all.everyone should be screaming roof top off that includes american and ozzie we all own the wildlife where ever we live the more who write to goverment mp press anything anybody or be to late

When I saw the title I thought Oh No,are they building more of their horrible rabbit hutches on some more green fields somewhere?.
In some ways it has comparisons with the thrust of Snowdrops argument,the destruction of whats natural on what are often spurious grounds.
In the woods next to my old mums garden there was a badger set.It was there for a dozen years to my knowledge. One night it was dug up by men with guns and dogs,according to the police who arrived too late to stop it this was in the name of 'sport'. Now everyone can take pot shots at them because of an unproven risk of TB.
If indeed there is a God he must sometimes wonder why he bothered.

Man is God's only mistake.

It probably has nothing to do with badgers, and is just a coincidence, but the news has just come out that cases of TB in britain is at its highest level for 30 years.
I think I would tend to leave the badgers alone and let them live in peace.
I certainly hope nobody ever finds something wrong with the deer that visit my garden and decide they must be culled. They would have to go through me first.

TB is spread by spitting and coughing.Spitting now seems to be a compulsory activity amongst footballers and yobs.

Human TB and badger TB are 2 different issues. I've read in the past Badgers are to be culled in some areas because they aledgedly spead TB to cattle. Human TB is on the up, especially in inner city areras such as London, its a combination of increased resistance to antibiotics and the lack of health screening of people coming into the country from less developed countries.

the tb thats on the up in the uk is not cattle tb that brucelis(look up spelling)what ever you smoking joe be careful it screws the brain...human tb is worse in newham than anywhere else out side pakistan it has been for many years that can be sorted out.
my son hears them shooting the badgers in pembrokshire at night,the screams of the babies when mother is shot or left for dead is awful few swift kicks in the head and the cubs dispatched.one poor little chap crawled into bristol universityBadock hall with underwater spear gun through it abdomen.another man was beaten with metal hammer because he tried stop a badger set from being destroyed.most common is to leave dry sugar beat around baited it then swell up in animals stomach it dies a long lingering painful death.i got hundreds of stories i can recount.but i no sit on my a*8e i try to do something so when i down in wales next few weeks i will indeed do something go out at night with others do something...one email is all it takes from folk

i understand the national trust are going to vacinate badgers for cattle tb.or at least small part of uk is...they got the science and know how as they have had for years,but still the welsh are going to cull them,
i do not look at it from bleeding heart townie i understand farmers problems,but they get subsidy for wild life husbandry and i rather have less milk in me tea see milkman come back with one pint rather than gallons per family,we would not need intensive farming we keep our wildlife and this awful diesase be wiped out.
suffolk and norfolk are rual counties it has big effect /affect on us

Here is your topic, SD. It is in The Lounge. However, it moves further down the list the longer it goes without anyone posting in it.
