paulus 26 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 after all the fuss about fox hunting, its stupid to even think there will ever be a cull of badgers the uk this is why i like sweden so much, they are alot more realistic to hunting and an anti is a very hard thing to find a pollitition with a pair of bollocks is even harder to find in this country mate, unless hes filling in his expenses claims 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 The thing is even if they announce a cull it will probably be under licence and heavily monitored. I bet these licences will be like hens teeth to obtain as well. A recent pole reveled 63% of people are against a cull. Too many people watching spring watch and that nob Bill Oddie for my liking. They have little understanding of the countryside and worse still care even less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
craigyboy 1,274 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 They are a nightmare! pre 73 bovine TB was almost none existent in the UK! Badger numbers didn't crash because of hunting or digging ect but because of dieldrin and other chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides agree mate it was the same with the sparrowhawk 70`s early `s they were as rare as hens teeth around here, now there as common as starlings. Which is ironic because as sparrowhawk numbers have increased so populations of small bird species have crashed. Like has been said, there are shed loads of badgers local to me but I haven't once seen a hedgehog in the 8 years I've been living here but I've seen more badgers than in my whole life previous. thats bollox about the spar mate, a healthy spar population means a healthy bird population,the demise of our garden birds is feck all to do wi the spar,its down to maggies,squirrels and cats 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
