The petition response even admits the evidence doesn't support it, that it is not helping, and it is a waste of money, but #farmers are too thick to understand this and #UKGov is committed to "Something must be done, this is something, ergo we must do this" mode.

Okay, to the #UKGov has responded to the #StopTheCull petition, and basically said that the reason they are carrying on with the #BadgerCull is that they think #Farmers are too thick to know how not to cull badgers.

They prettied up the language, but the gist is farmers are too thicko to work out how not to shoot things.

Brian May: The Badgers, the Farmers and Me - BBC iPlayer.
TB skin testing is ineffective so a 'clean' bull may have TB. Better sanitation & hygiene on farms. Cow poo from infected cows can spread the disease. Watch what you do with the slurry. Badgers probably catch it from the cows.

So it's illegal to test cows for TB without permission from the govt. Which means if the govt are determined to kill badgers there is no way to experiment with other ways of preventing TB. Any research is only with govt permission.
