Dan Belton ( No Badger Cull ) In Memoriam
The Intense Humming Of Evil ( Now The Victims Will Judge The Butchers )
If you don't know this is Owen Paterson, unfortunately it's not his real face as you might have noticed. This ' man ' is secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs, he is responsible for the imminent slaughter of 5000 of this country's best loved and most legally protected animals. If he has his way he wants 100 000 of these beautiful, enigmatic and utterly blameless animals slaughtered nationwide. He doesn't even have the decency to look evil as most tories do which is almost more sinister than his openly malevolent chums.
He claims on his website to be ' an expert on bovine TB ', I suspect the average nine year old child has a better understanding of science and certainly morality. It's interesting that whenever they mention badger culling on Springwatch they always stress that it's a ' complex issue ', seeing Michaela Strachan utter those words when she clearly opposes a cull was almost painful. It must be very frustrating for the presenters that they can't express their real feelings about it on the BBC. The truth is though that bovine tuberculosis IS a complex issue, whether culling badgers will help reduce it though isn't complex at all, IT WON'T.
Anyway, this wasn't really the shot I wanted but I do love the look on the cub's face, I'm fed up with looking at Paterson' smug face three nights running so this will have to do.......
From the ' Stop The Cull ' site :
' Owen’s priority when he got into his new job was to attack the co.uk version of this website, he got his team of lawyers in the treasury department to put an injunction on the site, because the site had encouraged people to play the badger badger song to him in his office. '
The response was this website :
