i hope they're able to carry out their plan Dave ..... and the rest of the UK follows suit . We are very slow to insist on these changes .... leaving it to the individual never works |

I was at Ardmore point on the Firth of Clyde once and couldn't believe the numbers of these small blue sticks washed up on the shoreline after the rough weather ..I'd no idea what they were but now I do .....absolutely 1000s of them too difficult to attempt a clean up ...very depressing

The whole subject gets more and more difficult . I'm against Hunting , Shooting and Fishing for sport but sometimes agree species might have to be culled if there is no predator to keep numbers down naturally . I believe the research that shooting badgers does not stop the spread of bovine TB and that other means of reducing numbers need to be found and used if necessary . I believe that it's definitely not only badgers who might spread B TB and often it's because of our shocking husbandry when keeping cows ... too many to a field or barn .. same as chickens . The Police don't have the resources to police these activities and for no fault of their own , they're forced to take sides .... which are now all fighting and blaming each other . Yet another badly thought out policy by the Government .......... |

There is a lot of political posturing as always Jen and i just wish that it had all been dealt with properly in the first place, the whole issue is now so clouded that it is nothing more than a shambles. The evidence was there from the start and the government failed to recognise it. |
