paulus 26 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 just been on the news the cull in trial areas is due to start in september and farmers will be managing the cull, at last some sense athough thee was a bunny hugger spouting crap about some study that revealed that tb levels increased for the proceding 3 years after a cull. i know this will be good news to the cattle farmers around here who have been plauged by tb for the last few years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ratreeper 441 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am pretty ignorant about these trials, what happens when the tested areas have less TB? They can't just wipe out badgers across the whole UK can they? Or would it just be a reduction in numbers everywhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R. Docks 154 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 ment to say imergrants probs spet that wrong as well lol Spell checker is your friend lol No, I think they are strangers!! I am pretty ignorant about these trials, what happens when the tested areas have less TB? They can't just wipe out badgers across the whole UK can they? Or would it just be a reduction in numbers everywhere? Hopefully it will go back to the way it was. If a farm goes down with bTB then it becomes the subject of a BRO (Badger Removal Order) and any badger living or feeding on the premises is killed. We came very close to wiping out bTB once before, but that was when common sense was the order of the day. They can't go on ignoring the pool of TB in our wildlife just because they are 'pretty'. 25000 cattle killed in 2010 on suspicion of having TB. In the meantime badgers are wandering around spreading disease and people are expected to just let them. Too many badgers in the UK and too much disease. Only one logical solution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moonlighter 1,163 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 How will it be carried out?? Shot, trapped, gassed?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R. Docks 154 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 How will it be carried out?? Shot, trapped, gassed?? The plan is to do some limited night shooting to prove that it is safe and has an impact on TB. The shooting will be done by contractors, and will be paid for by consortiums of farmers in the two trial areas. The antis are trying to claim that shooting cannot be humane because badgers are so big and 'low slung'. I'm not sure why they think that given that much bigger species are shot quite humanely at present (deer, boar etc). The sensible solution would be to remove protected status in those counties where TB is prevalant. Then landowners could decide for themselves and people could just get on with it. The antis seem totally unwilling to accept that badgers are not rare, and are not harmless. When children start dying from TB again, maybe they will realise their mistake. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hopefully one of the badgers will infect a badger hugger (can we abbreviate that to something shorter like bugg.... er????) with TB as the disease is cross communicable from badgers to cattle and from cattle to humans as well! Therefore if you cut out the cattle link, they can get TB from badgers! Is it too much to pray that a nice virulent strain hits the antis?
