Today, I received the BBC wildlife magazine in the post (a good read if you're interested in this sort of thing) and on page 32 there was an article on Badger Culling and TB. How ironic considering my recent badger sightings. I know everyone has their own reasons and opinions but giving farmers licenses to kill badgers because they MIGHT be carrying tb? I'm not sure I agree. Suggestions that farmers are knowingly keeping tb positive cattle and still wishing to cull badgers is horrifying. I'm siding with the Badger Trust; how can we trust these people? How can people want to remove such a beautiful creature from our countryside? Future Generations may never see a Badger or other species living in Britain if we continue to attempt to remove them. Look what is happening to the Bengal Tiger - less than 2500 individuals. Its not just Tigers either, Pandas and closer to home, Eagles and other raptors (not in the Dinosaur sense). Zoo's just aren't good enough to sustain populations for our children and grandchildren. Its not about acting tomorrow its about acting today.
Is this right??Lexie
