neil cooney 10,416 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) IMO the biggest benefactor of the cull in the UK is the badger itself. If they're in the numbers you say then of course a cull is needed. The agricultural TV show , Ear to the Ground, here in Ireland last week done a feature on Badgers and TB. Research has shown that TB might be able to be controlled through the breeding of cattle. Some bulls have been proven to produce offspring that are prone to TB whilst other bulls produce offspring with a high resistance. I was talking to a farmer a couple of days ago and he told me that his vet told him the same a few months ago so hopefully something will be done. The Irish countryside is very much short of badgers and it's down to a legal eradication and it's a shame, they're a fantastic animal.

It was always going to be unsustainable having a protected species with no natural predators. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
