If they over-cull, won't the badger become endangered? |

It probably boils down to money, it is probably cheaper to cull than to vacinate...I believe that every animal has a right to live... |

I'm against culling badgers Joy. There seems to be lots of disagreement about whether there's enough evidence that badgers are responsible for the spread of bovine tb and if culling even works. |

Badgers spread TB...so it's said they should be culled. |

It would be far too expensive to implement - they would have to revamp the entire beefburger manufacturing process |

maybe its the cattle that are giving it to the badgers and not the other way round |

Joy - the issue here is not that badgers cause TB but they help in the spread of it - that is why in the article Chris kindly sourced, they are suggesting mineral cakes for both cattle AND badgers |

Errol - google the site I recommended - farmer has found that there is a deficiency in the soil caused by growing maize. He had his soil analazed and it is lacking in two minerals which cause a weakened immune system. |
