@IamInuit I realise they are an important part of the natural habitat but the maneged cull in the UK is to slow down the rapid increase in cases of Badgers passing on TB to cattle. I think if you care about animals then putting what people who don't know otherwise, and see as somehow cuddly creatures above 20 000 cows put down or killed by TB last year makes a mockery of the protesters claims to be interested in animal welfare. I live on the border of Devonshire and Cornwall which is pretty rural and full of wild moorland, woods and farms, surrounded by coast. If you are a farmer you can't afford to be sentimental.
