Walker570 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 What was not reported by most of the press was that they will have to jump through hoops to be able to do it. It is basically a money saving scheme, get farmers who have a TB problem with badgers to do the culling, not professionals. It most certainly does not mean any farmer can go out a shoot a badger and hand it in for his £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Should just be put back on vermin list, then if people want them removed it will happen, if not they wont get shot. Yes I know it will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibby Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Agree. Would be just like deer management. No one goes and culls the whole population, but controls it. Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyboy1950 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Agreed. This would not be a recipe to make the badger extinct, far from it. Probably end up with a far healthier population over all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a bit of an urban myth that most of the badgers laying in the side of the road have been shot; I mean why shoot something illegally and then leave its carcass in plain sight for all to see and anyone to find? I see a lot of roadkill badgers around where I live; I doubt any have been shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmo9 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Me too.. and I'm beginning to see a few otter road kills as well.. Was pondering about the fact that for every badger or even otter that we see dead on the roadside there must be another that's crawled away to die a horribly slow and painful death somewhere in the vegetation or adjacent ditch. Perhaps we need some 'accredited association' to articulate these matters to the public.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy 666 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 If there going to start paying for them I’m going to start collecting all the ones from the side of the road I see and start freezing them. Then as soon as put them on the floor a quick hole in the back of the head job done. You think I will get away with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying for one minute that it doesn't happen, but I ran the badger carcass survey in Cornwall, Devon and Dorset back along and from all the ones I bagged and tagged only one was suspect. Problem was by the time it had been reported and I got there it was in a bit of a state and not fit for research autopsy so it was binned.

Dave-G Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I was under the impression we cannot possess any part of a badger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
