Guest tina/kev/sky/ace/tug Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I know some will call me a anti and what ever but what i done i think is right. Well anyway there is a big developement down the road from me and last summer i brought to there attention of a badger set. They took photos and stoped the development. They put a cordon around it and workred around it for a bit. I just come back from that area and they have dug to 10 ft of the set. I under stand the legal limit is 30 ft. I wnt up to tell them and they said they never known it was a set there even though i told them last summer. With out sounding like a hippy iv had enough of these people and there lack of respect for our wildlife. I know of two other sets on the site and one other where they got permission from the courts to move the badgers from the area and the other 2 sets are no longer in use. Deer have had to cross the busy road to find somewhere else to live as they have distroyed all there food and cover only to be knocked down and killed. Rabbits have been gassed from there warrens. This was once a huge steel works years ago and nature reclamed it after it closed and got demolished. It had huge numbers of everything, the whole 1125 ares site is now nothing no trees grass and just a few bunnies, charlies and this set left. Sorry for sounding like a hippy but just because i hunt dont mean i dont care about wildlife and the animals i do hunt. Is there anything i can do or shall i just let it happen. Im not going to the sspca though they can f**k them self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mad al 146 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 oh God never trust a hippy . I think what you may find is that the development of the land is probably governed by the the very "anti's" you talk about But the reason for my reply is this, if it had been you or any other member on here who had done this via whatever method they chose to adopt it would have resulted in a term at "Her Majesty's Pleasure" ,would have made tabloid history , but because of this sort of thing being done via the "back door to feather their nests", you will have job to do much with it. But if you feel that strongly about it, like I said, why not make a bit of "tabloid history" and expose this to the media Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,221 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I am a bit of a hippy but with out the hair. I hunt nearly every day and have a great deal of respect for all of my quarry even though I may sometimes dislike them. I must say my dogs and I eat most things we catch. What was that recipe for Badger ham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I have already said badgers are at plague proportions with no legal way to cull them because of do gooders like yourself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 The problem is that once you give total protection to an animal, it then increases in numbers beyond all reason and sense, and it wasn't as if badgers were in danger of extinction anyway, unlike the otter. Unfortunately the powers that be and the do gooders are unable to see or realise that sometimes a cull is necessary: and what did happen to the proposed badger cull on the grounds of them spreading TB? I've heard nothing about that recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
