Depends what TB stands for. Total B?

Maybe the continued cull is less about controlling bTB and more about preventing badgers from getting in the way of planning applications?

Oh, and poor husbandry and spreading infected muck on fields is more to blame as I'm sure you know.

Join us in Cardiff on 6 August and Exeter on 7 August, where we’ll be speaking to the public about the expected consultation on ending hunting with dogs and asking them to pledge their support.

The image shows a popular meme format featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the image, Captain Picard is expressing frustration with his hand extended forward. The text on the image reads: "You 'like' and 'share' farm animal rescue stories, but you're not vegan? Do you realize that those animals are being rescued from you?" The meme is intended to highlight the perceived hypocrisy of supporting animal rescue stories while still consuming animal products.

If you're not vegan, those animals were rescued from you.

👏👏👏

If only I knew then what I know now. 🐷🔪🐤

Thanks Chris 👍

Yes, still here between ventures further afield, cheers.

Exactly! Good to see you here, Roger. I hope all's well with you and your good lady.

Saw Van Gogh in a pub once. Asked him if he'd like a beer. "No thanks" he said, "I've got one ear"

Or even on the end of a skua…

Now we need to go after the thugs at HS2.

Ban dogs on reserves - it's the only way, and I'm saying that as a dog owner.

Thank you 😊

The second panel zooms in on the soup, showing a small shark in a spoon, with the caption, "You will see the end of an endangered species." 3. The third panel shows a shark with its fins cut off, lying on the ground, with the caption, "Cut up and left to die slowly." 4. The fourth panel shows an overturned bowl with spilled water, symbolizing ecological imbalance, with the caption, "And an ecological imbalance at sea." Credit: Just Comics / Joan Chan.

Shark finning is a cruel practice that causes immense suffering and a slow, lingering death - all for a bowl of soup 🍲

An interesting read. It's often those who've travelled the world and have a British life list of 400+ who are the ones preaching; but how very dare you suggest they cut down on their meat consumption (animal ag. being a major polluter) and see what reaction you get. ✈️

Never has been, never will while Timmy’s running it. I volunteered at Rutland Birdfair for years and at the 1st #GlobalBirdfair I suggested a vegan food stall and received a long email from the great Timmy Appleton explaining that my voluntary services were no longer required. What a meatflake! ❄️

From which stall? I won'r eat anything that's been cooked on a hot plate covered in animal fat. 🐮
