To cull or not to cull....
Morning....
We've just been talking about this at our morning meeting - the Government's decision not to authorise a badger cull to help controle bovine tuberculosis? It's caused a real row.
We were wondering though how much of an impact this issue has across country and town. Do you care about badgers? Is it just a "country" issue? Would a mass cull distress you? Do you accept the advice from scientists that "there is no economic or practical case for culling badgers to control bovine TB." The Independent Scientific Group (ISG), conducted a 10 year study into culling and concluded it could not "meaningfully contribute" to controlling TB.
But farmers are fuming. They say it's devastating for the farming families who are really suffering at the hands of TB in their cattle.
