        It's all very well trying to show you care about wildlife when in reality you are executing a policy which is systematically making badgers extinct. Get your priorities right and #stopthecull

        The Beavers have been there for years. Nobody would own up to illegally releasing them in the wild. Hope the beaver dams don't cause too much flooding. Maybe the folk of Ottery St Mary can claim from @DefraGovUK

        Then the farmers will decide they are a nuisance and want them culled, just like the badgers.

        You know Brexit is going to be a sobering time. That may be their inclination in part but by no means all think like that. I honestly think times will change.

        Society has moved on. Pheasant killers rearing and burning their targets while allowing their foul chemical residues to leach unimpeaded into water courses with huge social costs are running out of time. Like wise the arrogant killers of hares and predators in the north. Fight

        Great idea for Beavers but what about the badgers who are dying due to pure ignorance of good science and pressure from the farming community. We are executing a protected species?!! In addition, the farce that is fox-hunting still allowed to continue in full breach of the law!
