Look out badgers: they're after you

So. At last it has happened. The government has finally bowed to their natural allies, the landowners, and agreed to a cull of 70% of the badger population over the next 5 years. Last night on Channel 4 news one of these obnoxious types was put against Brian May (who bears a curious resemblence to a badger himself) and had the gall to quote the results of a atudy to support his position, the conclusion of which was that there was NO good eveidence that reducing the badger population has any effect on the incidence of bovine TB in cattle.

My first thought was, why don't they immunise cattle against TB, the same way as is done with humans; why couldn't that be tried before exterminating a wonderful wild animal, one of the last larger wild animals left in Britain. Then Brian produced the same argument. But no, the government gives the green light to a bunch of bloodthirsty killers who will probably relish the slaughter they are about to undertake. These men are dangerous, and should be stopped. If not, what will they want to exterminate next? other feral creatures in our countyside: squirrels, otters, foxes, birds? If the farmers thought they could increase their profits in this way, you can be sure they would. And it wouldn't be long before our "green and pleasanr land" would be strerilised of all life other than profitable cash crops. LEAVE THE BADGERS ALONE!
