Cant see it making much difference to us.........it will be a case of break out the gas and men from the Ministry if it does go ahaed

As far as i know, gassing, is not used anymore, but, i could be rong, so dont quoet me on that.

Badger culling in effected TB areas, is very productive, as i have culled over here for the dept of agriculture, using live catch snares and humane dispatch of the badger, TB, has sucsessfully been wiped out.

What holds it up, is red tape and antis, things taking to long to process and therefore, the TB slowly creeps back in again.

If done right, TB is eradicated.

 

TB, is spreading fast, not just among badgers, but also amongst us humans.

I read how the last english cull was carried out with cage traps. Chaps came round and shot the badgers in them.

 

Of course, with the 'right to roam' and all that, search and destroy missions will become the order of the day. Everyone and his uncle will be out trying to find those cages and smash them up.

 

IF the brit government ever has the balls to start it, I suspect things will get very 'emotional' in damn short order.

 

It'll be great craic to sit back and watch it all though! And you watch them rush through new offences about touching those traps and molesting the death wish boys

The spread of TB in humans generally down to 'economic migration' of people from 'poorer' countries where immunisation is unheard of. ie... grubby immigrants

 

I think live catch snares and a .22 in the head is the current method of choice but whatever it is its bound to go down like a bucket of shite with various blinkered / ignorant badger (indeed any animal) protection societies (not to mention that stupid council that spend nearly £100,000 on a roadworks to protect a set )

 

At least the kebab shops will do well out of it

I would hazard a guess but i think it might go like this ,the farmer has to prove the TB out of his own pocket then he is granted a ticket to kill the badgers and then he either traps and shoots them himself or gets in contractors.

This then cuts out DEFRA from the dirty work.......IMHO.......

I had a close relative working on the last Defra testing, the antis were already doing the above because Defra had to say on their website where they were trapping, apparently when the costing was worked out it was costing £950 a badger, (wages, replacement traps, expenses for the trapping teams, most of whom were in b & b while they were on it). Whats the betting if culls are allowed to take place it will be posted on Defra website again, so discouraging people not to do it.

Feck, thats not how its done here , all top secret and kept out of site, the way it should be and any antis are dealt with pretty quick.

Why are people always picking on badgers,leave em alone you big bullies :whistle:

[apollo 9]

A mate of mine was on the english trial and he said the antis had the same maps as them with the earths marked on them (the ones that they had survayed and plotted) strange that.

And the police would not intervene unless they actually caught the antis smashing traps which they would never do because they never walked across muddy fields, also they were told to walk away if the antis turned up and let them release the badgers...........

Apart from the fact that it's shite anyway I can't set our fox cage trap anymore. Everytime I do, I find a frikkin badger in it the next morning. They eat the bait, have a kip and get let go. I wouldn't at all mind knocking a few of them off if it was legal :thumbs-up:
