        “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?”

        And the BBC proudly states this fact yet clearly misses the point about unbiased reporting. Jeremy Corbyn received an historic Peace Prize yet not a word. But kill a nationally protected Badger by the tens of thousands and it makes BBC front page news. Not big! Not clever!

        I once worked with a woman whose daughter had to have a test for TB while at school because someone from "abroad" had TB. We didn't cull them. They were still allowed in school. This is absolutely bloody disgusting.

        Disgusting. That's the same estimated amount of wild lions left in Africa 😭 The cull, as it is, is such a pointless movement!
