Alternatives to a badger cull?

Sir, – John Fitzgerald (July 14th) should know that the alternative means of dying for a badger are to die of a combination of disease and starvation or as a result of being run over and left to die on the road. Death is never pleasant for wild animals. Furthermore, if he has any evidence of badger baiting he should present it to An Garda Síochána. – Yours, etc,
