He didn’t “pick badgers”. The culling of cattle in the UK is a huge problem. It not only can bankrupt the farmers it also makes meat and milk very expensive.
There is a reality show you should check out. Clarksons Farm starring Jeremy Clarkson who used to be the host of Top Gear before he ruffled feathers at the BBC and was fired. The show is about how during Covid, he decided to run his farm himself. Hilariously funny and also touching. One thing they dealt with is the this issue and how the culling of cows had a devestating effect on the local farmers. The show also exposes the ridiculous government rules and hoops people have to jump through. Very well done and highly recommended.
Clark son’s farm is a favorite of ours. Too Profane in spots but endearing. He needs to put a ring on it, though!
Of course he picked badgers. there are a whole host of issues just related to farming. He picked badgers.
He could have picked something else like looking for a way to deal with insects with pest management.
He CHOSE badgers.
