There was a demonstration outside one of the many Tesco stores in the city centre at lunchtime today.
The demonstration concerned the scheduled badger cull that the Government has recently announced to ward off a possible TB epidemic amongst cattle. Although there is no scientific proof that this is the best way of controlling the disease.
There is a suggestion that it is better to actually cure the badgers, rather than killing them. The protestors were also getting passers by to sign a petition to stop the cull. I of course happily signed it, as I am an animal lover and do not believe it is the way to go either.
I would sign the petition as well!

I saw them yesterday too - whilst I was trying to persuade my 4 yr old Grandson to either Hold My Hand All The Time, or wear his wrist strap. Luckily the 4 Policemen on duty for the demo came to my rescue & told him to 'Do as your Grandma tells you or you will get lost'. So for that I was glad of the demo.
ReplyDeleteI am sitting on the fence regarding the Badger cull though. Something has to be done to stop the transfer of bovine TB, but I would have thought a vaccine would be best.
