Badger Culls Kill Scientific Honesty

Like so many people in the United Kingdom I am in despair and angry over the Government's intransigence in ignoring the science of epidemiology concerning our badger population. It appears that, even in the face of irrefutable scientific evidence, our government of bully boys are determined to continue with the extermination of wild badgers. Once again, the arguments in favour of continuing the badger cull, as put forward by our Environment Minister, Owen Paterson, are less than scientific.

Please read this to understand what is at stake here.

A government that has lost the argument with Joe Public. A government so in favour of rich farmers and landowners that it is prepared to completely ignore sensible alternatives to culling, a government that ignores the voices of so many of the electorate. A government that is hell bent on destroying our wildlife, a government without a credible argument, a government that sees climate change as a business opportunity, a government that cares nothing for the vast majority of UK voters.

As a retired businessman I am reluctant to state that I will never vote for Cameron again. He has shown complete disdain for scientific evidence and has positioned himself far beyond my trust. He, together with Owen Paterson, has lost the support of my entire family....
