I agree with the letter (LT, June 19) which stated that culling badgers is no solution to any problem.
I will go a step further and say cattle transported all over the country and horror stories about dirty farms and poor conditions in which livestock is reared can help in the spread of TB so it is no answer to say badgers are responsible for TB in cattle.
Other factors enter in the equation and it has also been proved in the past that the badger is not entirely to blame as they would have us believe.
The badger is also persecuted in the so-called sport of badger baiting with dogs.
People like these need to be punished without mercy as they show no mercy to animals or people who get in their way.
