The prospect of any badger cull continuing disgusts me. The UK government's own scientists say that culling badgers is a) cruel and b) ineffective at controlling the spread of bovine TB. Yet farmers - or at least the NFU - clamour for culling, instead of vaccinating cattle and improving basic farming husbandry practices and biosecurity. As with foxes, killing individuals just invites others to move about and re-occupy the territory.

Anti-badger cull signage. Personally, I would prefer the use of vaccinations in both cattle and badgers. . . Not my Image : Fair Use & public information [originally uploaded, but not unlocked, on 22nd October 2021 - reposted 3rd October 2023]
