This just seems wrong

If there was some science to support this,I could understand.I know TB is the scourge of the farming industry,but it is aknowledged that it's not coming from the Badgers,but carried by them.We must look for a vaccine,this seems like a cheap option,rather than a considered one.

It is totally wrong and it will never work - this makes me mad a vaccine must be the answer not a cull.

It is incredibly wrong TB and in a previous post on Badger culling the evidence was stated as to why it would not work.
MP's are just not interested, they think culling is a quick fix and it's not, it will have little impact on Bovine TB and many badgers will, I am sure, not be killed swiftly as I can not see farmers paying out for expert marksmen and as they are shooting at night many could be females with cubs.
I truely hope this will be faught to the highest level for the sake of the Badgers, it is so wrong on every level and the money should be ploughed into producing a vaccine and getting the farmers to secure land so the badgers can't get on to it.
No we don't want cattle infected with BTB but mass culling of the badgers will not solve the problem, it has been proved before. I believe the government are doing the cull just so it looks like they are doing something to appease the farmers and using the cheapest option to them. it's disgusting.
