I rejoiced when Brexit was achieved, one reason being that now farmers are allowed to vaccinate their cattle against TB, it would mean that the badger cull could/should/would stop.

I was saddened and angry to hear that the cull is to start again in Herefordshire. Again we are to slay innocent animals for absolutely no reason at all.

Our beautiful countryside will be blighted by the sight of badger corpses, left to rot at the side of the road, or indeed in the road.

This practice is sickening, not to mention the destruction of our wildlife, that poses no threat to man, nor indeed cattle now, if it ever was.

What possible excuse can man come up with for continuing this barbaric destruction of life this time. Those who feel as I do should make their voices heard to save these shy, beautiful creatures.
