Badger Cull

The farms were all inherited as they usually were. Whether that still applies I don’t know. Simple, inbred? I’ve come across more utter morons since I’ve been in urban land than I ever did in the country.:D

Who, do what, Paul?

Farm charlie or are they so simple or inbred they can’t do anything else?

I would say Paul means FARMING Chas.
Mind you, knowing Paul, it could mean anything, that’s what happens when your on “Whacky Baccy” :very_drunk:

Chas, In 40 yrs of living here, and having to deal with just about ALL the Farmers Firearms enquiries,around here,I can’t honestly say I have known one to have to sell up or going bust.
Mind you, the soil is so good, I recon you could plant a money tree in the ground, and collect the Fivers when in season. 😀

Who, do what, Paul?

So why do they do it charlie?

It’s a pity all farmers get tarred with the same brush. I spent about 35 years of my life living in hamlet surrounded by farming land owned by five farmers. Two fell into the category which Paul had his rant about but the other three scrambled a living together, struggling against natural odds and not greatly cushioned by the CAP.

It’s a good job you don’t live around here then Paul, there are as many tractors as there are cars. Farmers are subsidised in many things they do and grow, so they really do, (Cough) NEED their Range Rover Sports. My heart bleeds for them, NOT.

Jim Farmers get on my nerves. Its to wet or to dry, there is no profit in anything a lamb is worth 50p and on the go and then get back in their brand new Land cruiser and drive off(probably running on red diesel)

Paul, Not like you to have a little rant..:highly_amused:

Cull the dairy farmers the miserable moaning lot have just been on the local news complaining that they only get 31p per litre of milk and are going to have a blockade tonight. Tough if you can’t make a profit go and do something else.

I just knew you would miss me :applause:

Hi All,
I thought that the cull could be done by injection ? the only reason I can see that they would use guns is the amount of time it would take otherwise, as far as I am aware the cows can actually live with the TB and there are injections for the cows to be inoculated, but it is a cost based opposition to using them and this is why the cull is taking place.
What I can’t understand is why the government has left it so long to react to the problem as all this was known many years ago, and it would have saved all the hassle with what is currently happening now. Brian May and Bill Oddie have been at the forefront of the cull opposition but it seems as though another case of common-sense has escaped just like the pile up today.
I can understand where the Farmers come from after all this is their livelihood that’s at stake, I mean they already get next to nothing for their milk that’s produced aside from tipping the rest they overproduce away, where it could be given to kids at school it’s such a cocked up system all over that getting at everybody.
Of course there is the possibility that even when the cull is over the TB will still be affecting cattle then what’s next left on the cull list ? Sheep/Pigs/Dogs/Chickens/Dogs/Cats/Mice/Birds and even then if after all these culls it still in existence do start culling humans ? I know what I have just put is ludicrous but with some of it particularly the farm animals it is not beyond the realms of possibility.
We are supposed to trust that these scientists know what they are talking about, but if just one figure is out it will effect the outcome of any investigative findings, if any wording is not on the spot it could lead to the wrong conclusion.

Haha!!;) Great to have you back!!:)

Bored with Badgers Chas?, perhaps I should start up “The 2nd” again, just 4 U?.:highly_amused:

Politicians and religious people of course..as per your post!:eek: I’m bored with badgers now……..

Badgers or politicians 🙂

I remember when i was a youngster my Dad took us out with a friend of his armed with a red torch to sit outside to watch Badgers– i felt really honoured to sit there in silence with the grown ups watching these very elusive creatures.Nowadays it seems because something doesn’t fit in with us we have to destroy.I wonder if we now notice them more because we have built all over the countryside so they are now compounded into smaller areas,once again we destroy — we are the parasites on this planet.
If the badgers reproduce to replace then what’s the point of a cull?

By their very nature they propagate continuously so no sooner would a swathe be culled than another swathe would take their place. Self- perpetuating!!

Shame we can’t cull politicians and religious people ,most the world problems gone in a shot – – oh and bankers.

I can only say this:
