Very disappointed to hear that badgers could be being killed again in Wales by our government, paid for with our taxes. The new controls are designed to protect cattle in the low TB area and drive down disease in the Intermediate and high TB areas. One of the most controversial new measures however is the proposed culling of badgers on around 60 holdings with long-term TB breakdowns, some of which are in Pembrokeshire.
It seems like its the case of blaming the badger again at all costs but let us not question the probable blame in the first place - the diary industry. Lets face it if we didn't farm cows , there would be no T.B in the first place, the badger just seems like a convenient form of wildlife to scapegoat for the N.F.U ( National Farming Union ) and its allies. Lets also not forget that Wales has previously rejected badger culling and has actually made better progress at reducing TB than England without killing any wildlife. Many are viewing this latest move as a purely political one, designed to placate the farming industry. It is important to remember that the vast majority of TB breakdowns are due to poor farming practices, that are then blamed on badgers. This latest move will only serve to legitimise the idea that badgers are central to control TB among cattle.
If you can raise your voice against this scheme, do it while you can. lease download the following petition and get friends and family to fill it in, email the politicians responsible and contact your A.M's if you are able to do so.
Save our badgers and make sure Welsh Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths and First Minister Carwyn Jones know how unpopular this latest policy is.
