Badgered

Ignorant living in monochrome world

defenceless  just surviving in their way

safe during the day in their set curled,

they must be culled! kill them some humans say,

creatures of the night don't deserve this fate,

tarred with a brush of guilt, already knackered

eliminate this cause of our poor financial state

exterminate them before our lives are shattered,

cries from our gentleman farmers high in stature 

creating  wealth is the answer to everything

so killing that dangerous black and grey Badger

will solve all their problems, prosperity will bring

happiness,  plenty of money for their future

extinction of this lovely creature doesn't matter

put financial greed before our lovely Badger.





There is a big question mark as to whether Badgers 
transmit bovine TB to cattle even so they are culled regardless.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/17/2017 6:36:00 PM oh this is sad. I did not know about this. They are killing off everything these days and often for reasons that are not truly valid. GREAT job with didactic.

Doug Vinson Date: 4/17/2017 3:30:00 PM Roy, a sad state of affairs. I quite like badgers. Login to Reply Roy Pett Date: 4/17/2017 3:36:00 PM Thanks Doug, there is no scientific proof that badgers transmit bovine TB but they still cull them because it's to expensive to catch and inoculate them, thanks again For your comment and support, Roy. :)
