Cull questioned after claims a shot badger died a slow death

By Western Morning News  |  Posted: September 22, 2014 Comments (19)Further doubt was cast on the humaneness of the badger cull after a wildlife charity claimed to have found an animal which did not die immediately.Secret World Wildlife Rescue, in Somerset, has examined so-called badger 41 after it was brought to them from the nearby cull zone last week.The charity said X-rays and a post mortem revealed that the animal, which was found at 2.30am by protesters near Sampford Brett on September 15, was thought to have been shot by contractors in the area.“From initial veterinary examination including x-rays it was evident that the badger had an obvious rifle shot wound to its abdomen that had forced

“The shot had clearly not been on target and would, in the opinion of our consultant veterinary surgeon, Dr Elizabeth Mullineaux MRCVS, have been unlikely to result in the badger’s immediate death.”This, they say, is contrary to recommendations from the independent expert panel, that marksmen target the middle of the chest target area.Also, it is claimed there was no evidence of a second follow up shot or of evidence that the cull contractors had observed the badger after shooting it for signs of life, both requirements under the Defra culling licences.It said a detailed post mortem will be carried out and that the findings will be made available.Somerset Badger Patrol said they were “deeply shocked but not surprised”.“We had no confidence in the Government’s assurance that the shooters would be better trained this year,” the group added in a statement.“Right from the beginning, independent experts warned that trying to shoot badgers at night was very risky. However, the NFU and Defra have pushed ahead. Now the evidence is stacking up that badgers continue to be killed inhumanely.”The National Farmers Union (NFU) said "humaneness monitors" were going out with contractors.An NFU spokesman said: “We have seen no evidence that a badger has been found."If one has been found there is no evidence to suggest it is associated with the cull."All badgers shot as part of the cull have been collected and accounted for.”1 576Share208Tweet 834ShareReport this article

THE BLUR -DAIRY PLEASE READ...........a short story by ghostman

DAY 5  It seems different now the plague is beginning to affect me .I have found the cure its so simple but easily missed  in our reliance on science,the answer is .... Day 1 The day began like ever otter day ,woken up by local radio  playing latest naff hit of the week .At work behind my prison cell of a cubical sitting tapping my computer ,boring accounts.Then suddenly people began to scream ,run,stand looking like rabbits in the headlights, a figure arose from their  cubical its face ,body were all blurred,it was walking at a snails pace towards me.Sorry to say i ran for my life.Day 2  With cars,buildings ,offices ,shops abandoned,ravaged and plundered for supplies like viking days of old.N o electric as due to plague spreading creating more blurred  creatures.I was holed up in a warehouse ,once full-of toys awaiting for a child to play with,now dunk and on my own.Day 3 I ran of food so moved on,whilst on the road i was a lonely old man wearing a white coat ,rimmed glasses and he had the air of a person who knew something.After being starved of human company for a while i tried to spark up a conversation with the white coat man. He was ranting -WHY DID YOU WHAT THE BLUR YOU FOOLS,I stood looking at the rimmed glasses and saw this eyes were small similar to when a illegal drug hs been taken.The white coat man then had a lucid moment in which he told how and why the blurs had come about .You see some rich would be star did not wish to be seen when out so he thought why not lookk like the blur you see on TV shows when no one   wishes to be seen also. The white coat man had managed this but it went wrong bit like a b movie plot in 50s .Day 4 I then made it my mission to save the human race,despite all its problems .Bu t  as   i looked down  my feet were beginning to blur.So  breaking  into a paper shop i found a pen and this dairy to write in ,which i hope any other survivors find.Day 5  Cure is so simple its ...........................................

NOT A GREAT NIGHT
