Why do the English hate wild animals so much?

Both the badgers and the cows can be inoculated. But it's cheaper to kill them.

Update:

The badgers that is.

Update 2:

Blue Jay. I hate to tell you this. They're not culling cows. Special reading?

Update 3:

Hardy. They don't actually stick needles into badgers. Sigh! They leave baited food. Sigh!

    They don't, it is only the people that have a vested financial interest in things. Cows could be inoculated but it costs money and it has not been disproved that it wouldn't get into the food chain and affect people.

    Better to inoculate poor old Brock and let this beautiful animal live in peace in the country. There has been no cast iron proof that badgers infect cattle anyway.

    STOP THE CULL OF BADGERS!!

    Inoculation is cost-ineffective, as you said.

    You live in a capitalist society, what do you expect?

    We have all the means for self-sustaining renewable energy sources, just nobody is willing to "waste" the money to build the infrastructure, instead invading other nations for oil and spending.... 45 billion pounds on a fancy new train set, that's more likely to go up to 80 billion?

    Hm, and people wonder why the government is loosing credibility, it's like they hardly use that all-important sponge in their heads.

    Maybe because we don't want are food being infected with tuberculosis, it's too costly and timely to go around inoculating every single badger in the country, that's just stupid...

    Its not just english.

    Its all humans!.

    Humans HATE animals and destroy this planet.

    I much prefer animals to humans especially bratty kids.We destroy this planet not the animals thats the irony. Humans are selfish and ignorant.

    I wish we could cull humans.
