Here we are supporting dear Judi Hewitt, in
Llandudno’s busy Mostyn St. to oppose the vile and cruel Badger cull
Elin Jones the agricultural minister, is from farming
background, and Brynlie Williams another AM has a massive farm quite
close to where we live. Such folk must have vested interests and for
that reason should not be allowed to take part or vote on that in which
they have a personal interest. At least that was the policy in the 1980s
when I was a member of the Grampian Council. However, it seems as if
Wales is quite different and therefore, because of this, open to maximum
abuse. And incidentally, while other businesses close because they
cannot pay their way, ‘the farm business income in Wales is
subsidised to between eighty and ninety percent!
Farmers are, I feel sure, using badgers as a
scapegoat for the breakout of Bovine TB, A disease which anyone with a
minimum of common sense must surely feel is a disease brought about as
one of the dire consequences of cruel intensive farming practices. In
all honesty, it would be a miracle if such saddened, pitiable and
horrendously exploited animals were to remain immune! Just consider how
much milk is stolen from them each day; how often they are forcibly made
pregnant; how often their babes are stolen from them! Yes, just look in
to their very eyes and see the pent-up sadness. Those responsible for
the same sick methods must surely be the actual scum of this earth? Yet
there are those amongst them who hypocritically masquerade as
Christians: reciting the story of Jesus, a good shepherd laying down His
life for a sheep. Yes, you’ll find some of their ilk also singing
gustily the 23rd Psalm in Chapel on a Sunday. And who condones all
this downright hypocrisy? It’s Wales’s mute and feeble bishops who bear
a most revealing badge of office: a crook!
As for the ‘Welsh Assembly Government’ - known as WAG! - Its latest
act of notoriety was to sanction the shooting of over thirty cows
grazing in a field near Wrexham; and this in full view of hospital
patients and – believe it or not! – school children playing!.
