I GIVE MY BADGERS VITAMINS TO STOP TB

Everything I read pointed to the trace element selenium being the solution so I decided to make cakes of molasses with the highest dose of selenium permitted. I got Ministry permission and started leaving my cakes outside the setts in the woods. This has worked for nearly a decade in a TB hot spot but I can’t understand why Defra [Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs] has not done more research into my theory…I don’t believe badgers have to be shot.

Lest we forget, there are almost ALWAYS alternatives to culling, at least here in England where our wildlife is far, far less dangerous than in other parts of the globe.
