Quark Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Jesting aside, I wish this is one I felt well-informed enough about to back up my opinion! I've seen so many conflicting articles on whether vaccines are viable or not I genuinely don't know whether it should be supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may also be letting my distaste of mr may sway my opinion. I'll hopefully learn some more very soon. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is perfect, especially in an area like this where there's competing evidence. Eavis might be on the wrong side (I don't know either). I think what we can safely presume is that even if Eavis is wrong him having a stance on it is with the best intentions for his cattle, which he's always going to put before badgers.

Quark Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 My biggest concern is the cows and the badgers realising we're the common foe and forming an alliance against us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Iirc Michael said in 2013 at the q&a that he supported the cull. He did however concede that badgers look marvellous with their stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, you would have thought there was plenty of pasture for them, if they are kept indoors in an intensive farming regime there would be a greater risk of TB spreading rapidly if one got infected. Maybe Eavis's cows don't live the idyllic life represented by the festival when they showed the "cows are back" video after the cleanup. Compassion in world farming are against intensive dairy. https://www.ciwf.org.uk/our-campaigns/dairy/ I'm not saying Eavis uses this method, I have no idea, maybe Ommadawn knows more. Edit, there is little evidence of cows on google earth pics and on the numerous site visits done by people on here.

Suck it up Brian May. Down here, the farmers shoot them (illegally), load them into the back of their Land-rovers and dump them on the roads. You often see two or three together on the road. People think it's due to them using 'ancient badger pathways' but sadly it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
