''Most people are against the killing of badgers, but are unaware that what they put in their shopping baskets is driving this policy to annihilate wildlife. Without the dairy industry – and certainly an industry that is far more intensive than in the 1970s – badgers would not be in the firing line. ''

''The cost,scale and ignoring scientific research and information in deciding to allow a cull of our native creature the badger will not stop TB, the way is vaccinating them and stronger controls on cattle movement/husbandy in infected areas. Open your eyes you are wrong and we will be against you. Trapping and vacination will allow a protected species to live as it should and stop the risk of injured/displaced animals moving and if infected transmitting the disease to clear areas. I do sympathise with farmers over this but alot of the farming methods used today add great weight to the problem as well. ''

Our role as conscious beings is part caretaker and custodian - obliterating other forms of life in order that we can carry on indulging weird practices is a recipe for disaster. I respectfully suggest the farming community look to their own cross infection practices and ensure they are tip top before they commence a figurative napalming of the natural community.

''By killing the badgers all one is doing is to unbalance nature even more. Whenever you kill an exising specie or unnaturally over populate an area with a specie you will have an adverse reaction. You have sick cows due to mass farming and moving, kill off the badgers and nature will react. As with the cows, for every action their is a reaction. Have you even considered how this cruel idea is going to leave a "gap" in the ecosystem and cause a reaction. I feel that all the people involved in making this idea come about should also be held responsible in a personal financial capacity (put their money where their mouth is) for the long term side effects.''

Over a quarter of a million dairy animals slaughtered for a range of reasons including infertility, mastitus, lameness and the fact that they simply failed to produce enough milk against 25000 cattle killed within the Bovine TB (BTB) programme. Solution, carry on with the slaughter of cattle and add the slaughter of badgers in a move to reduce BTB by 16% & 32% and risk spreading BTB to adjacent land.

''If independent scientfic research says a cull will not achieve the desired effect then the decision to go ahead can only be based upon ignorance at best, or cynical manipulation for your own ends, whether that be saving money (compared to taking steps that will actually help farmers solve the bovine TB problem) or garnering support and votes from your misguided rural constituents. Either way a disgraceful decision by self-serving career politicians which will leave you with blood on your hands.''

''We know that the cull will not work and the expected fall in cattle TB cases of 17% in 9 years resulting from the cull of thousands of badgers reflects this. The government is just bowing down to pressure from the farmers. It has been shown that 80% of the TB infection in cows, is from other cows.
There is still illegal wide spread movement of cattle. It only takes one infected animal to be kept in close proximity to other cattle in the cramped, winter sheds, for many more to become infected. The farmers need to practice better animal management instead of just looking for a scapegoat, ie the badger. More pressure is needed to speed up the development of the cow TB vaccine and diagnostic test to differentiate between positive animals and immune animals due to vaccine. For some unknown reason the government has stopped most of the trials on the cattle vaccine, which were due to be launched. WHY?

''Members of the public who may know little about farming – or wildlife – could be forgiven for thinking that farmers' lives are being ruined by badgers.
It is a message being peddled by the farming press, by some – but not all – farmers, and even by the BBC's Countryfile programme. They say that thousands of cattle are being slaughtered every year (30,000 in 2010) because of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) – an airborne respiratory disease – at enormous cost to farmers and the taxpayer: £100m last year. This much is true. They also say that bTB is being passed to cattle by badgers. This I dispute, based on evidence from those who know better than me – scientists.
Those of us who want to protect badgers from such bad press are forced on to the defensive. Particularly now, as the government has said it is "minded" to authorise a massive cull of badgers in an effort to control bTB.
It wasn't always like this. Bovine TB was almost eradicated by 1970, when there were only about 1,000 cases. Eleven years of localised badger culling failed to reduce the toll further. But the end of annual cattle testing in the mid-80s, and the devastating effects of BSE and foot-and-mouth disease, when testing was abandoned altogether, meant that many farms lost thousands of animals, and afterward there was a rush to restock. Regulations were relaxed, so cattle were bought and sold and – crucially – moved all over the country. Bovine tuberculosis was back. These relaxations of the movement and testing regimes – not badgers – were to blame.
So, to the question of whether badgers are responsible for increasing infection rates in cattle. If they are, how have cattle remained free of bTB in Scotland, where no badgers have been killed? Why do they have it in the Isle of Man, where there are no badgers? And why are bTB rates twice as high in Ireland, where so many badgers have been killed that they are extinct in many areas?
Could it be possible that cattle are infecting badgers? After all, cattle far outnumber badgers – 9 million cattle to, at most, a quarter of a million badgers.
George Pearce, a wildlife consultant, used to be a farmer. In his new book, Badger Behaviour, Conservation and Rehabilitation: 70 Years of Getting to Know Badgers, he explains how his family's farm, which always had badger setts on it, managed to remain free of bTB from 1950 to 2008, when the herd was dispersed.
Since the 1930s, there have been four important measures used to combat bTB: very strict movement controls, thorough cleansing of livestock buildings, good ventilation and double fencing on all boundaries to prevent cattle in adjoining fields from exchanging saliva.
Pearce says that if we want to solve this crisis, we should be talking about cattle, not badgers.
Aside from these measures, he suggests that we look at the bloodlines of our cattle. All bulls, whether used naturally or artificially, should have blood tests to assess their susceptibility to bTB. The reduced gene pool of bulls over the past 60 years could be contributing to the problem.
Cattle that were largely bTB-free in the 60s and 70s, he adds – mostly British breeds – have gradually been replaced by continental breeds. Are they less resistant?
What's more, cattle are bred much more intensively now, and bTB is known to be a stress-related disease.
What about dietary deficiencies? Dick Roper in Gloucestershire was anxious to find out why one of his farms was hit by bTB when his others were not. On the affected farm, the cattle were fed on maize, which badgers also love. But maize lacks selenium, a mineral that – in humans and livestock – is necessary to maintain a strong immune system. So, Roper introduced selenium mineral licks for his cattle, and for the badgers on his land – to the amusement of his neighbours – and cured his problem, despite all the farms around him becoming infected. Are cattle getting bTB because their immune system is compromised?
In the past two years, improved cattle testing, biosecurity and movement controls in England have led to a 15% reduction in the rates of bTB infection. In Wales, during the same period, the number of cattle slaughtered because of bTB has fallen by 36%, and by 45% in Dyfed. The Welsh Assembly Government had proposed a cull, before being forced to drop the plan.
And this, without a single badger being culled – despite the fact that a few rogue farmers have been swapping the ID tags of cattle so that valuable animals with bTB were, illegally, kept on farms, while healthy, but less valuable, ones were sent to slaughter in their place.
David Williams, the Badger Trust's chairman, said in April:
"The effect of these offences is apparent: the guilty parties are harbouring and spreading disease by keeping infected cattle on farms. The cattle-based measures now in place depend absolutely on effective movement controls, honest and accurate record keeping and discipline. They have been producing heartening results without killing a single badger, particularly in Wales. However, if badger culling had been introduced last year, these improvements would have been claimed as 'proof' that culling had been necessary."
Meanwhile, the statistics about the number of cattle slaughtered every year because of bTB, and the amount this costs, have been very visible in the media, but no one mentions the other causes of premature slaughter.
In 2009, 120,000 cattle were slaughtered because they were infertile. In 2008, 75,000 were slaughtered because they were "not in calf"; 50,000 because of mastitis; 25,000 because of lameness; and 7,000 because they were "low yield". Not to mention the male dairy calves that are killed at birth because they are unprofitable. Compare these figures with the 30,000 with bTB that are slaughtered.
No one mentions these because they are not caused by wildlife. Several factors, including bad luck and bad husbandry, are at play. Farmers receive no compensation for these animals. They accept these losses as an unfortunate part of their livelihood – there is no one to blame.
Last year, the government announced a public consultation on whether we should have a cull. It ended in December, but the results had not been made public. Why not? A request for the information under the Freedom of Information Act was turned down because the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said releasing the information "would affect their policy". Isn't that what a consultation is meant to do? They have, however, now included the results as part of another consultation, which closes on 20 September. Those figures show that, of those who responded, 69% would not want to cull and 31% were in favour of culling but alongside vaccination. Not exactly a resounding endorsement of the government's proposals.
In other polls, too, the public have made their opposition clear: 97% against in a 2007 poll for the Labour government; 68%, both rural and urban, against in a recent BBC poll; 90.9% against in a Guardian poll in July. Even a recent poll by Countryfile, which largely has a farming audience, polled more than 60% against a cull.
Would badger culling help? The answer is no. And to support this conclusion, we need only look back at the evidence of the Krebs trial, a massive pilot cull of badgers over 10 years between 1997 and 2007, overseen by the Independent Scientific Group (ISG). It is a well-worn argument, but it bears repeating: the trial showed that bTB in the culling area was reduced only marginally. Outside the culling area, it actually rose, a result of what is called perturbation, where badgers who have survived a cull spread out to escape danger. This behaviour does not occur in any other species. The conclusion of this massive trial was that "culling can make no meaningful contribution to the reduction of bTB".
In the weeks leading up to the government's latest announcement, seven former members of the ISG wrote a letter to the Times opposing a proposed cull. They included Lord Krebs, who designed the 10-year trial and is now chairman of the House of Lords science and technology select committee, Professor John Bourne, the ISG's chairman, and Dr Chris Cheeseman, the principal scientist for many years at Defra's Woodchester Park study area in Gloucestershire, where farmers themselves were involved in research into badgers, cattle and bTB. They said there was "no empirical data on the cost or effectiveness (or indeed humaneness or safety) of controlling badgers by shooting, which has been illegal for decades".
In early July, Lord Krebs said: "The trial evidence should be interpreted as an argument against culling. You cull intensively for at least four years, you will have a net benefit of reducing TB in cattle of 12% to 16%. So you leave 85% of the problem still there."
It seems their arguments have fallen on deaf ears. Make no mistake, this is an argument the government does not want to hear.
If bTB is in decline, why is the government not saying this in public? This lack of openness appears to vindicate those who believe that a decision to cull is a matter of political expediency, to secure the farmers' vote, and is not based on the available evidence.
But those of us who have an interest in all animals, whether wild or farmed, are tired of badgers being the scapegoat.

''don't make the badger a scapegoat''
December 11th, 2011

Victoria Colewood from England
''I, along with many members of the British public am against a cull of badgers. I feel that it is the inhumane barbaric practices of over breeding calves which leads to the lowered immune system of the cow. These calves are then sent to slaughter abroad far from hom in the cruel veal trade or shot shortly after birth. This is coupled with the intensification of farming practices and movement of cattle. many scientists, including government scientists who were in favour of the cull in the previously have decided that the cull was of little use. The cull will be indiscriminate and either poison or trapping apart from being torturous and a reminder of ancient bloodsports and barbarity coming back to cast a shadow over the British countryside, will also kill other animals. Innoculation although initially expensive will be cheaper in the long term. People are now aware of the horror that goes on in the farming factories and proposed battery dairy factories and wish to see a return to a more pleasant age where animals were seen as more than machines to produce our meat and milk.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours Sincerely
Victoria Colewood''

''The government is overreacting completely to this situation and ignoring the advice of scientists who have demonstrated clearly that there is no evidence of foot and mouth being carried by badgers and passed to cattle. Farmers have hated badgers for centuries and want them gone. Foot and mouth is there excuse to finally win their war with badgers.
Please do the responsible, environmentally conscious thing and stop the planned culls.''

We are only on this planet on rental and therefore have to share with other species not wipe them out – we will pay for what we are doing to the planet and the way I see this decision is yet another nail in the coffin of the human race!''

''Killing badgers is not the answer to controlling Bovine TB. The last government actually did some controlled tests and confirmed this. The reason Bovine TB is out of control here in the West Country is the appalling neglect of the Cows' hygiene by farmers, together with the moving around of infected animals. Some farmers have privately admitted that they prefer to receive the taxpayers' payouts for their slaughtered animals as the value usually exceeds, often greatly, the value of the animal to them as a commodity. Farmers having this attitude have no incentive to prevent TB spreading the their cattle. The prospect of the wholesale slaughter with gunshot has great appeal as a "sport" from some members of the Farmers' and Landowners' communities. Gangs of gun carrying "Contractors" (ie members of the Countryside Alliance - some as young as 17)accompanied (of course) by dogs, will have a "Free Shoot" (James Pace, Farmers' Minister - HIS WORDS). There will undoubtably be dreadful cruelty inflicted on the Badgers and (of course) other wildlife by these gangs of gun men and women. Their dogs will undoubtably "by accident" be involved in gang baiting of the badgers, foxes and other widlife. The Conservative Party by their support of their Militant Wing (The Countryside Alliance) has shewn itself to be the unreformed "Nasty Party" that Teresa May, the Home Secretary, warned us of a few years ago. All right thinking people will oppose this action on Moral and Scientific grounds, and where possible, take non-violent direct action against it.''

Have they never heard the saying "the customer is always right!". We are the customers, and we demand a total ban on the cull. Unfortunately, the badgers are caught up in the middle of all of this. Leave them to live in peace and instead make the lazy, money grabbing, corner cutting dairy farmers vastly improve their appalling standards instead.''

''In addition to the information already provided, there is a much larger issue to consider: what is the justification for killing one species in the hope of protecting the life of another species, in order for this species to be consumed by another species? This is not only unecessary in terms of the wellbeing of human beings, it is actually detrimental in many ways (health, environment, acting incongruently with our nature). It is impossible to see any beneficial outcomes from badger culling. Given the lack of justification and lack of beneficial outcomes, I strongly recommend the decision be reversed.''

''If Wales can avoid this vile act why do it in England. So much for GB being one country when different rules apply to Wales. Shame on England if this allowed to go ahead.

''You have no right to kill badgers anymore than you have the right to confine cows for milk. It is time to rethink our behaviour towards animals. What right have human beings to kill any animal let alone a wild animal who has as much right to his or her life as you or I. Stop consuming dairy products, we do not need. Stop killing badgers. Animals are not here for humans to use and abuse.''

''The cull would be a horrendous crime against our indigenous beautiful badgers. It could seriously endanger the species do you want the only animals left in our countryside to be drug pumped cattle and battery farmed animals. We need to switch to a more vegetarian life and bring back animals that we have previously wiped out not wipe out more of these animals which are at the heart and soul of these islands.''
