MADAM -– Re the badger cull – while I can understand Martin Hancox’s view, I think it’s a bit unfair to blame the farmers.

They have to follow the government and the EU, who by now dictate what the farmer does.

Not many would want animals to die for no reason, but the farmer has to produce cheap food.

No doubt where the blame lies in the end – the power of the EU who refuse to accept a vaccine even if one could be found.
