This is UTTER NONSENSE! When oh when will we ever learn to stop interfering! 1st, we give TB to Cattle & Badgers, then we turn round, blame the Badger & start culling them. Then we fill our own environment with deadly chemicals, which kill off all our Songbirds, so now, once again, we're looking for a scapegoat. The ONLY predator that is STUPID enough to exterminate a food species is us! All the others have much more sense than to eradicate their own food supply! .... Duh!
