Badger supporters about to launch milk wars?
Action against badger cull steps up, including threats to boycott farmers milk
Animal welfare charities have launched a fresh campaign to challenge badger culls in the UK, with the RSPCA even calling for a boycott of milk produced by farmers in areas where the culls are going ahead.
The campaign seems to have some weight behind it already with the Co-op, one of Britain's biggest farmers already coming out in favour of the badger supporters with a statement saying: "There is no expectation that badger culls will take place on land managed by the Co-operative and nor would they be supported..."
The talk of boycotts comes as a new coalition of animal welfare charities, Team Badger was launched this week by Brian May of the band Queen, following an e-petition campaign.
Bovine TB is a serious issue resulting, for instance, in the loss of 25,000 cattle to UK farmers in 2010.
Should farmers be threatened with further economic losses in the form of a boycott?
Some animal welfare supporters think so, but more importantly they want the shooting of badgers to be abandoned due to animal welfare grounds and the lack of credibility of the proposals.
The Badger Trust feels the death of 40,000 badgers over the next four years if the culls are rolled out further is totally unacceptable, especially when the scientific grounds for the culls are being repeatedly called into question.
What do you think?
At Xperedon we have been following the arguments for and against the badger culls throughout 2012 including this article on our news page, featuring Rethink Bovine TB, a campaign group who go quite deep into the scientific evidence.
At the Xperedon website we also list many charities that are campaigning for animal welfare, including the various pro-badger charities, including the Badger Trust, the dedicated UK charity protecting badgers.
