la bala Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have just been reading the bbc home page news, there is an article on the badger cull. Someone interviewed a female activist, She said the culling would only push INFECTED BADGERS into cull free zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW682 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Might be the same woman who was interviewed on R4 this morining. She said the badgers "fleeing" the cull zone would carry the infection into other areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW682 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 she was named only as lynne l wasn't paying much attention at the time...but that sounds the same one I think. Definitely wouldn't give a surname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 The amount of ignorance shown by many posters on both the BBC and Sky News websites is incredible. They do not read half the facts and question why we follow EU rules about banning vaccines when it clearly states that if we vaccinate cattle, due to the way the vaccine works, there is no way of telling via testing, which are vaccinated and which are infected.

Gimlet Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Even those sections of the media which support the cull don't always get their facts straight. The Daily Telegraph, which has printed several editorials in support, keeps talking about farmers shooting badgers with shotguns. Why can it not be explained to the public that badgers will not be shot with shotguns but with rifles (minimum .222 I should imagine) that will kill them instantly. The antis also get away with the utter rubbish (again uncontested by the media) that badgers will be difficult creatures to hunt and even harder to kill cleanly. I cannot imagine an easier creature to dispatch than a badger. You know where they are, you know more or less when they'll appear, they follow the same trails night after night like they're on rails and they're very easy to get close to. Any .22 CF generating 1000 ft/lb or above is going to slam them into the dirt like they've been hit by a train. Getting within range and killing them humanely will be entirely straightforward. There will be no question of badgers full of lead shot limping round the woods screaming in agony. Anyone familiar with rifles knows this, even though they've never shot a badger in their lives. Its obvious. Why can't the general public be told the truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Sky News insisted on showing an interview with a group of mainly ladies where the leader described the sound of the Badger being injured as "a woman being tortured" no emotive words used there then...

snowmonster Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 From what I've seen of rent a mob there's one or two scary beasts among em that look like they need a good torturing if you was unfortunate enough to be married to one of em you'd be well pleased to dump em off at the badger camp and hope the protests go on forever .
