The badger population is artificially high due to its prolonged period of protected status. a cull is well over due btb or no btb

For absolutely fecking sure, and a return to the quarry list should be considered too

May is still on the telly, Harping on about vaccination the fooking plum. Why doesn't he mention a few facts about vaccination like, there is no vaccination for cattle only badgers and for that to be viable every badger in effected areas would have to be caught and vaccinated every year for several years

Im sure I watched a story on the news where in southern Ireland its legal to shoot badges and the cases of BTB has reduced dramatically. surely that's evidence enough!!

I've got no doubt it will work. The antis probably know this as well and know that their argument will be trashed which is why they've done everything to stop it starting in the first place.

 

Here's what happened in New Zealand with Possums and the results are conclusive!

I heard some animal scientist apposed to the bager cull quoting that bager culling is only 15% effective however when questioned he had to admit the effectiveness was more like 35-40% in the immediate area but he said the culling of bagers in an area only creates a vacuum to which other bagers move in thus the effectiveness on TB is reduced so this is where the 15% comes from....

 

Well my opinion is this if a farmer wants them on is land fine leave them there, if a farmer wants rid then he should be allowed to protect his live stock as he sees fit and get rid of the f*ckers

I saw some bint from the Green Party on the news earlier and that subject was brought up. She replied, 'Thats different, possums are pests...' What does that make badgers then, if they're doing harm surely they are pests too..?

[Nik_B 3,790]

LOL yeh...doesn't matter what animal it is...if it has BTB it will spread it....

 

If you reduce the numbers then they spread it less....

 

I seriously struggle to understand how people can't get this.

 

Also if you want to vaccinate then you still need to cull, then vaccinate them when the numbers are much lower.
