Sett in Their Ways?

It's the 10th season of badger killing in the UK. This British Mammal, living in its sett, is a protected species. It's protected, except where dairy farmers have permission to 'cull' them, in a useless attempt to reduce the transmission of Bovine TB (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jul/20/experts-call-for-stop-to-badger-cull-as-link-to-bovine-tb-is-contested). It will surprise few informed folk there has been no reduction in the incidence of Bovine TB in the 'culling fields'. Scientists, Vets and Naturalists are all appealing to government to abandon the cull. Fat chance, as badgers, unlike farmers, have no votes!
