I watched a great piece on Countryfile this weekend which talked about bovine TB and what can/is being done.

The options at the moment seem to be Cull (like in Wales) or Cure(like in England). Opinion seems to be divided on this as to whether culling actually helps or not, and whether vaccinating is a viable solution.

Im torn myself, I hate the idea of a badger cull but its very easy to oppose such a thing from my sofa...

What are peoples thoughts on this?
