This is an absolute disgrace. Not content with having slaughtered 50% of English badgers, the government is yet again bowing to the UK dairy lobby (which won't rest until it has totally eradicated English badgers).

I agree with Peter Hambly, executive director of the Badger Trust, who said they're using badgers as a scapegoat for not taking “more decisive” cattle-based action on bTB.

"The birds of Whangamarino, a freshwater wetland covering 7,000 hectares in Waikato, in New Zealand’s North Island, are being killed by a botulism outbreak, a consequence of mass fish deaths, which in turn are prompted by flooding, algal blooms and high levels of pollutants including heavy nutrient load from farming. This summer, the birds died in their thousands: swans, ducks, geese, spoonbills"

Changes in our diet and our climate are driving changes in the land. As #DairyFarming becomes increasingly untenable and new incentives for climate friendly practices appear, some farmers are looking to new crops like #pulses.

Including #chickpeas here in New York's #FingerLakes region, where there is increasing and (locally) unmet demand for them.
