NOW that we are half way through the Government’s crazy policy of appeasing the National Farmers Union by killing up to 800 plus of our Dorset badgers, I would urge all readers who are equally appalled by this slaughter to contact their MPs with one simple question – how many of the badgers being blasted by rifles and shotguns are actually being tested for TB?

Because if this is supposed to be a science-led policy then the answer shouldn’t be none – but that is the reality.
