I agree with helping the sea birds

Plus we need 40 million pound to trap & kill the badgers to protect bumble bees, ground nesting birds, hedge hogs, reduce soil erosion etc.

I remember last year and listening to the fisherman who was reporting on the deaths of thousands of seabirds from bird flu.
Add an apex predator into the mix and you have a recipe for complete disaster.

Yet again as we can see it's the government throwing taxpayers money at a problem that ill advised government policy caused, it happens so many times it's unbelievable, far better stupid government ministers kept their fecking noses out of countrymen's business!!!

Why do they the govt, have to pay and make simple problems both difficult and expensive, many of theses problems were tackled done for free? Years ago by locals, its like all counties now have a "nature" body/team and RSPB spend millions and millions, lovely to spend other peoples money on many pointless, waste of time schemes, one example of many is cutting grass or having to pay to clear vegetation build up that has become a fire risk, where in the past this was controlled, managed by "controlled burning"?
