An absolute disgrace and an indictment of the current regime. They've ignored the science (culling doesn't prevent bovine TB), parliament (the motion was defeated) and now they are ignoring the vast majority of the public. Studies have shown that the cull will inflict pain, injury and starvation on badgers and their young, and not solve the problem.
This is a sop to the farmers. The real solution is immunisation, but the government doesn't want to finance it, so they are fobbing off the farmers with a cull, which, coincidentally will please the huntin' shootin' fishin' set too - tories the lot of them - well well, what a surprise.
Next up birds of prey.
This government has done more to destroy our society than Thatcher's mob, and they haven't even got a mandate. The Lib-Dems should be ashamed for supporting this out of touch bunch of rich, self-serving bastards, but they won't be because they are rich, self-serving bastards too.
Stand up and fight. Vote them out at every opportunity. Speak out against them at every opportunity. Write letters to your MPs, write to your local press, speak to the people you meet. It is our responsibility to kick this lot out. Do it people. DO IT.
