Culling badgers horrific cruelty
I AM appalled and outragedthat badger populations across England are to be decimated in a horrific cull that is nothing short of inhumane cruelty.
HIS UK, a leading force for animal protection, believes that, contrary to Government and the farmers' opinion, this cull will not stop bovine tuberculosis in cattle.
The facts of the matter are that most country people love badgers, they are a part of our countryside and nobody should have the right to take a gun and go out and kill an animal in cold blood.
Of course, most will probably be badly wounded and made to suffer an agonising and barbaric death.

The police already have huge problems involving young people with air-powered guns.
Do you not agree that this is setting a bad example and condoning the shooting of innocent creatures?
If this cull goes ahead, I am afraid to say that there is blood on the hands of the Prime Minister.
We as a family shall not be voting for him or his shameful political party come the next election.

“you really have lost the ruddy plot now Gary. Show me any facts that Badgers do anything to spread TB in cattle, all bar some farmer saying "I be seeing a Badger jumping up an sucking on my cows udders." So what do they do, tell the fools they can load up the 12bore or shove a Jack Russell down a Badger set and club to death whatever comes the hell out, an the poor fog yo I it takes a good beating. Tell you what, go get a few Grizzly bears and shove them in the doors of the civic center one day next week.”

“Warren, reading you is a most formidable challenge at the best of times and especially when my interpreter goes off sick.
Culling badgers is the cheap way and badgers also have boom and bust times within the housing market.
When a badger sees a way into the housing market via cheaper and more available houses, they will obviously take that advantage as any right minded badger would do.
Som when the cull goes on, thus freeing up the housing shortage, it is natural that the lower and more diseased badgers will move in.
Seems obvious to me anyway.
So the culling of badgers is really a big red herring and visible way of doing something 'positive'.
The more costly way is to use vaccines on all animals but this could further frustrate the housing market for badgers wishing to get on the first rung of the housing ladder.
I saw a badger in Glebe street.
It wandered into the chamber.”

“So, let my get this on right Garry, you, in your wisdom, backs a cull on an animal that is hidden target practice for them that vote Conservative, and get there own way. Then you would like to see the guns turned on human beings, for no good reason other then your own sick mindset.
On the story, show me that Badgers are spreading TB in cattle, witch no one has, or give me good reason that cows can not be treeted to stop them getting TB. Until then, keep the gun in there bags.”

“Lighten up redtone, you're beginning to sound too much that other apologist that frequents all websites called Tonyjohnt.
Remember him?, The known alcoholic suceptible to louder rants the more he drank?
By 6:30am he was totally beyond help.
The rest of the day was a write off.”

“Instead of culling badgers, can we not cull a few MP's of all parties. Surely this would be more beneficial to the country.
To blame badgers for the bovine tuberculosis in cattle is wrong. The intensive dairy farming is the biggest cause because it puts so much stress on the cattle which in turn makes them susceptible to infections. Badger culling is used as an excuse because the problem can't be stopped but the people in charge don't want to have to admit it.”

“Mole10 is even trying to turn a badger culling topic into an anti Labour council story. If his family love him (their burden) they'll get him professional help.
I had plenty to say about this, but the Phantom of the Sentinel has already killed it... a cull you say?”
