Jump To Comment: 1 2TB is very serious & not a vote catcher.
and indeed there's an article on this very subject in the archives, i wonder how many badgers have been culled?
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=16535
I wonder do these same farmers feel suicidal as they profit from the meat industry everytime they send their cows off to be slaughtered? Or when they send their male calves to the veal crates? Or when the mothers cry everytime their calves are taken away so they can produce more milk for the dairy industry?
Let them commit suicide!!! Badgers are indigenous to Ireland and England. Cows aren't.

Badgers Cull Ruled Out
By Joe Churcher, PA Chief Parliamentary Reporter
An immediate cull of badgers to control the spread of TB in cattle was ruled out by the Government today despite warnings farmers are “suicidal” over the loss of herds.
Animal welfare minister Ben Bradshaw said there was still insufficient evidence that a mass killing would be cost-effective, sustainable or viable.
Mr Bradshaw resisted calls for a cull as he announced that he had approved a first field trial of TB vaccines for badgers and a new study into cattle
vaccination.
His comments came as a new report predicted “dire consequences” for farming in South West England if the problem was not addressed.
The number of cases is rising by 18% a year, with more than 22,000 infected cattle culled last year, the report by the University of Exeter found.
The disease was brought under reasonable control in the 1970s but experts are unclear as to why it is on the increase again, although a ban on culling badgers
has been linked.
Mr Bradshaw, who is the MP for Exeter, welcomed the “excellent” report although he said he had not yet had time to read it in full.
He pointed out that the study had found the economic impact “has not been major” and that “only one farmer who has been affected...has actually left the livestock industry as a result”.
He faced a barrage of calls from MPs from all sides to take urgent action.
Labour’s David Kidney (Stafford) said farmers in his area were “positively suicidal when they see their whole herds destroyed because of bovine TB.
“I have watched bovine TB approach and now take hold in my constituency and I know how frustrating it is that the science is behind us on this but surely the strategy is still too little to satisfy people like those farmers, under that stress, that enough is being done.”
Mr Bradshaw said he accepted that some farmers were upset that a “mass extermination” of badgers had not been announced.
“But no government could do that in the absence of the scientific evidence to support it and very serious work on cost-effectiveness, practicability and sustainability.
“I absolutely understand, I spend a lot of my time meeting and talking to farmers who have been affected by bovine TB, that it is a terrible and very, very distressing experience.”
Faced with calls to implement a cull following a successful trial by the Irish government, Mr Bradshaw pointed out that the policy had not been taken up in
Eire.
“They have not introduced proactive culling along the lines of those trials because they do not believe such a policy would be viable.
“It did, for example, involve the total extermination of badgers over quite large areas of the country.”
He also attacked hundreds of vets who signed a Tory letter complaining about the Government’s policy, accusing them of failing to offer any alternative.
He told Opposition spokesman Owen Paterson that he had written back asking for practical suggestions “as to what a badger culling policy would actually look like”.
Mr Bradshaw dismissed as “ludicrous” a Tory election pledge to “kill infected badgers”, pointing out that there was no way to tell if a badger had TB until it was dead.
Labour’s Nick Palmer (Broxtowe) joked: “Not for the first time a Conservative policy on rural affairs seems to be ‘if in doubt kill something’.
