I like badgers.

Prof Rosie Woodroffe, a leading badger expert who conducted a landmark decade-long trial of badger culling, said even the two pilot culls should be halted. "The pilot culls performed so poorly in effectiveness and humaneness, I would stop and invest in something more promising," she said.
The culls, aimed at curbing the rise of tuberculosis in cattle, were dismissed by senior scientists as "mindless" before they started and have provoked huge public opposition since, and led to ministers losing a vote in the House of Commons. The night-time shoots failed to kill enough badgers in the allotted time, which scientists warned could lead to escaping badgers spreading TB more widely and increasing it in cattle.
Opponents have also argued that stricter testing and controls on cattle movements are the key to cutting TB. In Wales, where a planned badger cull was abandoned, the number of cattle slaughtered has fallen from 11,671 in 2009 to 6,102 in 2013, a 48% drop, following more stringent testing. The number of cattle slaughtered in Great Britain fell by 15% in 2013 following some new controls being introduced in England.
