Letter: Why protect badgers from necessary cull?

You will be aware of the proposed badger cull.

I would like to make you aware of other things about badgers.

But don't take my word for it. Please go to any livestock market or ask anyone involved with the countryside for many years and ask why are their no curlews, lapwings, very few hedgehogs and wild bees.

I will guarantee you will get this answer: Badgers roam around at night and they eat the eggs and the honey and baby hedgehogs.

We cull deer, rabbits, foxes, moles, rats and mice. Poor old pheasants are born to be shot. What is so special about badgers?

G. Roberts,

Clun
