rob190364 2,593 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Petition created by Dr ( :laugh: joke, surely???) Brian Mary Ann May. The ones we've signed haven't done much good, it'll be interesting to see if this holds any weight with nearly 300k signatures already. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/38257 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patterdalejoel 669 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 cull the badgers and the anti, this country needs to grow a set of balls, oh a few antis are upset so lets stop, if this was australia they would be paying people by the badger tail and giving out free poison! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I pointed out to my mate / neighbour, only last night, how a badger had traversed our land. " Have ye set a trap for it?! " He says. I'm like, " Err ..... No. Not yet ..... " Thinking; " Yeah. It's One f**king badger! And my dogs run around on that ground. Lace it with #220's? I think not! " Just so happens that this particular sett doesn't impinge on any of his cattle fields anyway. Just wanders the meadows and goes up the back of my place. Governments own (On the quiet) Badger Cull sorted us out. No mess. No tears. No problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 fair enough then. i hope it gets allowed if a cull is needed, but like i said. what a farmer does behind the closed gates of his land is entirely up to him. theyl have a lot of land to police if they want to stop that.

rob190364 2,593 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 the very people who's signed this petition highlight the problem for me, none of them are active animal rights activists and none of them know anything about the countryside....we're up against animal rights activists AND the people who know nothing about the subject. Asked about something like this, the neutral will always say protect the fluffy animal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,568 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 where do you lads stand on it? i know theres not much evidence that it will stop TB but i also know what a farmer does on his own land is his business and nobody elses so...i dont really have an opinion on it I have come down in favour of culling over the last few months - just not sure whether shooting is the best way to go about it? Similar culls in Ireland seem to have shown some reduction in bovine TB, but badger supporters say this is due to animals migrating from cull areas.......pro's and con's on both sides? http://www.farmersguardian.com/home/hot-topics/bovine-tb/irish-experience-clear-evidence-badger-culling-works-paterson/54294.article Quote Link to post Share on other sites
