Fellrunning Oct 2013 9:31am, 12 Oct 2013 969 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning Half witted politicians who know b@gger all about Badgers and then complain that the cull they've authorised has failed to meet its targets because Badgers are "erm - elusive and secretive" and "only come out at night". Well knock me out with a dead squirrel you don't say?!. Have you never actually read "Wind in the Willows"? - there's a whole chapter entitled "Mr Badger" that accurately describes their character and behaviour. Never mind Brian May - Just ask your nearest 8 year old. Who votes for these arseh@les??

Fellrunning Oct 2013 11:28am, 12 Oct 2013 970 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning Actually May's analysis of the thing as a farce is pretty accurate. There's some evidence that, unable to shoot by conventional means, they are resorting to trapping and shooting (which is illegal) and that in some areas outside the cull areas farmers have declared open season on Badgers and are shooting them out of hand (also illegal). The whole thing is being driven by a small cabal of farmers who have a pathological hatred of wildlife, and large supermarkets who squeeze the life out of the rest. The politicos are just cow towing for votes and couldn't give a toss.
