The Seeker 3,048 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 RSPCA are asking supermarkets to label bottles of milk which are "badger friendly" so consumers can boycott milk that comes from farms where badgers are being culled. You couldn't make this Sh*t up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chilli 381 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Its about time the goverment stepped in & put a stop to things like this . The culls been put in place for a reason & is not there for nothing , do they also realise that this will effect peoples lives & livelyhood . This will also attatch a stigma to the farmers who have to put up with a lot because of extremeists ( RSPCA /LEAGUE OF CRUEL SPORTS ) saying these animals are cute & cuddley .No body wants to wipe out these or any other animals , its all about keeping them down to an acceptable level whilst also trying to keep any disese under control . . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danw 1,748 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) this makes interesting reading so the question is just who pulls the strings at the rspca? http://www.iea.org.u...ock Puppets.pdf edit if you cant' be arsed to read it the article explains how the government gives charitys funding and in return the charity lobbies for causes that the government wouldn't wish to be associated with themselves.

Born Hunter 17,787 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 The animal right fraternity hit a lot of different groups, hunters, shooters, fishermen, farmers, pharmaceuticals..... the list goes on. If we ALL united it's a war that would last a few weeks with 100% victory. It's never going to happen but collectively we hold a lot of weight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 There roll is to prevent '' cruelty'' , I dont understand what is '' cruel'' in regards to a very small select few areas where the cull is most needed , to be honest they can lobby supermarkets to change labeling all they like , when you have a fiver in your arse pocket & a family to feed you buy the cheapest , no amount of '' new labeling'' will make a scrap of difference to your average person anyway but it will no doubt push up the price i seriously hope & prey that none of the dairy farmers go out of business because some '' charity'' dictates who buys from them, thats outrageous & quite frankly none of there f*****g business 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kenny14 656 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 That's right, let's all stop buying milk because a few disease carrying Badgers are being culled ............... And then we'll all just look the other way when all of the dairy cattle have to be slaughtered because we've put the farmer out of business.............. F***ing morons Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I agree with Kay 100% The rspca boils my pizz what really irritates me about this whole '' RSPCA interference '' is if supermarkets do agree to label all there milk products with '' badger friendly'' it implies that dairy farming in some way '' harms'' badgers , much in the same way that tuna is sometimes labelled with dolphin friendly regarding the nets they use i just hope the supermarkets dont back down & support there suppliers , its bullying basically , something there good at 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
