Badger cull could hit tourim trade
30 Nov 2010
FARMERS and landowners who want to kill badgers have given no thought to the effect that this will have on tourism.

Who will want to visit the countryside when it has been turned into a killing field? When badger killing was carried out inWales, the effect on tourism was momentous.

At the time of making booking enquiries, tourists would first ask whether or not the owner of the holiday cottage, camp site etc, had allowed the slaughter to take place on his/her land.

Income from tourism plummeted. I would suggest that anyone thinking of visiting the South West asks the same question.

Protect badgers

THE UK is supposed to be a country of animal-lovers which makes the fears that badger-baiting is going on around Huddersfield even more alarming.

Police discovered three men with spades and dogs at the site of a known badger sett in woods close to Honley.

Killing badgers for sport is so cruel it was outlawed as far back as 1835.

It’s hard to imagine the mentality of anyone who would commit this kind of offence, but it does go on.

That’s why it’s vital that people living in the rural areas around Huddersfield remain vigilant and note down the registration numbers of suspicious vehicles spotted close to badger setts and descriptions of anyone seen near them.
