The UK Gibberment, in the assumption that they know better than the scientific advisers who're all telling them it's a bad idea and won't solve the problem, are about to authorise the slaughter of a bunch of blameless badgers in a futile attempt to halt the spread of bovine TB.

I don't know how much good online petitions do, but there's one to ask them not to kill the badgers :-hereabouts
Our mustelid chums would appreciate your support if you're able to sign the petition. The Babirusa of Rage is decidedly not amused.
