The badger cull

.....and over now to our on-the-spot Government Spokesperson on Wildlife Eradication, Peter Brock.

"So, Peter, how did the trial cull go?"

PB: "We are delighted that we have managed to kill so many badgers"

"and what percentage did you kill"

PB: "er.....24%"

"and how much did that cost, may I ask?"

"not much......approximately £7.5 million"

"so that works out at about £4,100 per badger, if I've got my maths right. Not quite what you'd call a rip-roaring success, then"

"Yes, but .....blah blah blah; lots of ministerial b/s......"

just about sums it up, also stated today that badgers were taking up to 5 minutes to die after being shot and which callus b********* timed it?
