scothunter 12,609 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Well Lads I'd say that's 100% proof I'f ever we needed it, that there no f*****g chance of the ban being ditched. I for one never considered it to be, but some optimistic lads did. I'm afraid the antis and bunny huggers carry more weight than we do, and more importantly thought more of by them that govern us .

stop.end 4,079 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 dont think yous are looking at the bigger picture... or maybe looking past the main point... looks to me like some BIG PHARMA company stepped in with a lot of money and just so happened to have a VACCINE .... it would be laughable if it wasnt so serious.... now our beefs going to be pumped full of even more shite for humans to consume, while the old boy in the suit gets to wreak havoc in the countryside, with his TB spreading..... This is more proof that society is turning into completly dumbed down nation of zombies, who are ready to take the word of any lacky in a suit while anyone with any reason or logic seems to be getting criticized or locked up.... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,676 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 We're being governed by people who have NEVER felt grass beneath their feet, they're all pen pushers and suits with a loud voice. Why didn't they ask someone who works in the countryside how many badgers there are? Not rely on scientists or "experts" for the same thing. Just carry on with your own business Quote Link to post Share on other sites

inan 841 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 We're being governed by people who have NEVER felt grass beneath their feet, they're all pen pushers and suits with a loud voice. Why didn't they ask someone who works in the countryside how many badgers there are? Not rely on scientists or "experts" for the same thing. Just carry on with your own business I've listened to a few debates on this and expert opinion is that culling is likely to spread the disease because breaking up family groups of badgers will only spread the TB further afield I'm not persuaded that culling will eradicate the problem.Statistics given from previous times suggests not.

I'm afraid the antis and bunny huggers carry more weight than we do, and more importantly thought more of by them that govern us . more weight than who this cull is not being carried out for are amusement or for any other reason than the badger carries tb no terrier or any other cannie will EVER take part in any cull , the black n white god has been given special treatment once again but it has nothing to do with any input from are fraternity , 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 No I meant what was the reason they did a u turn ? I thought it was the antis who had a hand in that, reason I mentioned the ban was cause it was the Tories who said they would re debate it. They can't even organise a cull without changing thier minds( or others changing it for them). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) its defras fault once again they carried out surveys over the last 5 years , then they sent out tender docs to a select few now it gets good based on surveys carried out years ago local farmers etc set up companys to carry out the cull having won the tender they have to carry it out to the contract terms and conditions no more money etc , the green lights were given and away the went 70% of the populations were to be culled and desposed of , now it gets even better on carrying out their first culls the contractors were finding massive explosions in the badger populations reporting back to defra with there findings and the increases defra run to there paymasters who said no more wonga so we now have a stale mate till the next budget becomes availabile but farmers will still have to pts any reacters etc and who foots the bill Edited October 23, 2012 by gonetoearth 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,226 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 So the official cull was going ahead, & now the official cull isnt going ahead. If I was a farmer who was affected by this, id just do my own unofficial cull, least said soonest mended... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I expected nothing less. This from the Gov`t that provided the facility to issue licenses to kill Buzzards,, and failed to issue a singe one !!! over 4 yrs now,, and no licenses issued anywhere, so the chances of badgers being shot was nil.
