Malt 379 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 It appears the proposed badger cull in north Pembrokeshire is now off the agenda due to a technicality with the wording.. It appears the fluffy animal brigade have won the day via a loophole, nothing to do with the ethical side of the argument. The gutless Welsh assembly government are not even going to appeal against it. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-10637059 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I like Badgers, but there are far to many, I would like to see culling in certain area's where Bovine Tuberculosis is rampant, just to see if number of cases drop, or at the very least, inoculate the Badgers in the hotspots, because some of the cattle men here are struggling to make money, and they will go under. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarraghsGem 92 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 there trying to do that here ;- vaccinate badgers of all the mental things! talking to brian naughton (TD finegael)about this a couple of months back + he supports it even though the goverment dont think there is any way to prove or disprove if its doing any good, they reckon they are going to be getting results in 5yrs time but i think its a load of bollox, badgers are like rats around here + breed like rats too. all of the farmers ive spoken to are against vaccinating them and are all for culling them.

TIMMAY 6 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Seen it all in the local rag and on the news. Mike Sharrat of i think the badger trust is always chirping on using 'cruelty' as a key factor, what makes me laugh is that this guy was against fox - hunting as it was 'cruel', leaving trapping and shooting of foxes as the only real means of population control so presumeably its fine to trap and shoot foxes, but 'cruel' when a badger???!!! NO LOGIC Typical animal rights nut! He also was banging on, on the news about tb being controlled in the early or mid 20th cenrury with NO CULLING. prior to the badger act i presume land owners would have had badgers culled ? Aside from the TB issue, if we leave populations of animals to 'nature', they will just keep growing until they run out of food, or disease puts their numbers back in check, surely it's better for welfare if we maintain a healthy population by keeping numbers in check.
