What do you expect, it's the "DISGUSTING" "LYING" "CHEATING" "CRUEL" "DISPICABLE" "CROOKED" "HUMAN RACE" "THE WORST SPECIES (not all) ON PLANET EARTH", It's the "HUMAN RACE" that should be (not all) WIPED OUT", and left to the "ANIMALS/WILDLIFE", "WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN", that "WILDLIFE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE LEFT ALONE" on "THEIR", "YES" "THEIR PLANET EARTH", "SICK AND DISGUSTED WITH THE (not all) HUMAN RACE", "ANIMAL/WILD ANIMAL LOVER"
What is the point of conventions/laws/governments/organisations etc. when they either break the rules themselves or are impotent when others do? Waste of time!
Great article. Wish I knew how to appeal to the Bern Convention to speak up for Badgers as a concerned citizen, eg sign a petition. Even after Brian May’s brilliant documentary, very little still seems to be done to protect them. It is so disappointing that the treaty seems to lack any power or ability to do the job it was supposed to do, ie protect all wildlife, and not a selected few species. I have always been an avid supporter of Born Free and admire their efforts. I feel so helpless at times that as an individual, I can’t do anything to help.
It sounds as if the BERN organisation is self-congratulatory - unjustifiably so. The very least they can do is urge the UK government to announce a moratorium on the cruel massacre of badgers until it shifts them to Category 2, which would, hopefully, end it for good. It sounds to me as if badger-KILLING must be a lucrative business for certain parties who influence political decisions. That Labour has so far reneged on its pre-election indication that the killing should stop because it is 'INEFFECTIVE' should surprise no one.
COUNTRIES SIGN UP TO AGGREMENTS, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THEY DO NOT BOTHER ENFORCEING THE LAW? LOOK AT HITLER, KEPT BREAKING AGREEMENTS AND WE ENDED UP WITH THE SECOND WORLD WAR. WHY? BECAUSE WHEN ITALY INVADED AFRICA , THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS DID NOTHING. AND HITLER DID THE SAME TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

I agree Helen.
Thank you, Sam. It’s good to know others feel as passionately about this.
