Re: Badger Culling cub

Ok then what should be done about badgers ? What would you do to save the cattle.make every one a vegetarian :detective:

Cows already are!

Do you believe that it is acceptable to kill an animal because it may be carrying a disease?

 

[a1colly]

So why not compensate the farmer for the livestock that has to be destroyed because of TB?

Problem is they have been protected for a number of years now and have no predators other than cars and idiot badger baiters so there numbers have gone up vastly in some places spreading TB as they wander.
I for one support a cull if required in certain areas just to keep numbers down.
I love badgers and have a few farmers as friends locally who have no problems with TB and don't want a cull unless the TB spreads (at the moment TB in this area is rare and could possibly come from importing cattle from other areas)
Tb in other areas can be worrying see Cheshire badger roadkill study shows 24% have TB - 26/08/2014 - Farmers Weekly

If you visit a modern intensive cow farm you'll see the horrific conditions the cows are kept in, the hundreds of injections* they give the cows everyday, the quality way their crap is kept, spread and dumped in the local river.....

Open wound (jet injections) + Poor cramped conditions + poor waste disposal = It's probably the badgers!



*something on the news about poor use of antibiotics as well...

made me laugh

on a serious note if we didn't eat cattle they would exist only in zoo's

Because that does not solve the problem, fund research into a vaccine that can be used on cattle and the cull and compensation question goes away

No there not ! there are cows in feed which is fed to cows which helped with the spread of mad cows disease

They get that anyhow, I for one would be happy to have no cows and import beef rather than slaughter Badgers which are only trying to survive like the rest of us, I have never met a poor farmer either, they all have range rover sports which cost 80k.

 

[dingledong]

But as it said we cannot inoculate cows it's against the rules ! What are other eu countries doing or is it just us that has this problem

 

[dingledong]

Farmers have the highest rate of suicide

 

[trev]

Perhaps you can provide a link to corroborative proof of that Ding.

 

[Silly Sausage]

The badgers are farmer-baiting them!

Rats are only trying to survive not take the country over.
I would think if we imported meat it would cost more and the country sending the meat over would have to kill their own badger s
