Nine areas have come forward to be considered for licences to cull badgers in a bid to curb bovine TB.

:( Dave ...... but thank goodness for Derbyshire and their vaccination programme

Little wonder the Government gave a time of 25 years , you'd never know what the outcome was caused by :impatient:

There are too many animals to a barn and field , little wonder these infections are passed on :/

Thanks for that link Dave.
There's no end to this slaughter is there. :(

Jen, quite a lot of the Wildlife Trusts have vaccination plans, Goucestershire was one of the first to start doing it in 2010, but unfortunately they don't cover everywhere.

I so admire the people who go out at night to destroy cages and baiting grounds, putting their own lives in danger at times.

:wave: :( Marg .........

'' In 2017 the cull took place in 19 areas in Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall, Devon, Herefordshire, Cheshire and Wiltshire.

The licences allow badgers to be killed every year between 1 June and 31 January.

The cull zones in Somerset and part of Gloucestershire - where culls have taken place since 2013 - were granted five-year licences in August ''

.. this is what the article says . Am i reading that wrongly :thinking:

Despair is the word Woodwing, along with frustration.
