I've had a refreshing weekend away badger watching in the Lake District. We didn't actually go to watch badgers, but the lodge we were staying in seemed to attract the critters from far and wide. I've never actually seen one in real life before so I was very impressed! Now, it's down to the serious business of taking down the opposition slowly but surely and taking a Kevvie Crown for ourselves! :o

You should have got some practice in whilst there JJ - I'm not sure what the bounty is for a TB'd badger these days. Â

My friends assured me that these badgers were 100% TB free. I don't think they knew how to do the official testing, it was more of a judging them by how cute they were so they couldn't possibly be poorly sick.

LOL ... it's a terrible dilemma - I hate the thought of culling - cute looking or not but the effect on cattle is terrible - there must be another way to protect both species. Glad you managed to see them in their natural enviroment.

I'm sure they'll find a way in the not too distant future. It's not like we haven't got a vaccine for TB, it's just a question finding a way to inoculate every single badger in the UK. How difficult can that be?! Now, I've solved that little problem is there anything else that needs sorting? ;-p

how about a cross between culling and vaccinating - shooting them but using little hypodermic darts with vaccine in them ... Hmm Dragon's Den here I come

That's a beautiful bittersweet way to go about things, Doc. Although, in the words of Duncan Bannatyne, "Ahm oot!" ;-)

Ah I was always an oxymoron type of guy .. of course everyone used to shorten it... Actually I'm thinking a little deeper into it - I could get all those folks who do paintball and charge them for the little hypos .. of course some badgers may get innocculated twice or more but would that make a difference? Plus if a shot or two goes astray they may hit a cow which again would help ...wouldn't it?
