“Elin Jones is the reason I will never vote Plaid Cymru. As she is of farming stock she is totally biased on this issue. Let's have a cull of politicians and leave the badgers alone.”

“Every time there is some kind of cattle disease, the government responds with the usual primitive 'slash and burn' reaction. It is not surprising that our livestock never develop any kind of immunity and are susceptible to every kind of disease.

Elin Jones seems incapable of thinking out side of the box and to consider modern solutions to our rural problems.

I strongly support Brian May's proposal that the electorate vote her out of office.”

“Brilliant! Thank you Brian May. As an organic farmer keeping traditional native cattle I think my view should carry some weight. There are badgers all over my 100 plus acres and have been since I bought my farm more than thirty years ago. None of my cattle has ever been a reactor, despite sharing a boundary with a farm that had a significant proportion of their cattle killed for having TB.

Elin Dollop is an ignorant traditional farmer's daughter who is intent on destroying the environment in Wales. Her total incompetence was evident in the development of Glas Tir, the new environmental scheme for Wales, which only a handful of farmers have signed up to. In return for a ridiculous paperchase, which will cost more in admin than the value it delivers to farmers, the compensation will be derisory. Those farmers already farming environmentally will lose 80% of their funding under the previous scheme, despite having their single farm payment based on the low stocking levels required by their scheme. Elin Dollop's only concern is to redistribute their money among her friends, the environmentally unfriendly.

By now, those disadvantaged by the skewing of the single farm payment to the most environmentally irresponsible should have seen the disadvantage disappear. However, the dollop has ensured this European requirement will be delayed indefinitely in Wales, although that is not the case in England.

We need more people like Brian May to stand up for common sense and our lovely badgers.”

“As a nature lover, I am horrified that this cull is going ahead. Leading independant scientists (not the assembly cronies) have said that a cull will not work, and could make the problem of Btb worse with infected badgers running to unaffected areas when they try to escape. But since when did Elin Jones (who by the way has the face of a badgers behind) listen to the experts or the public; the majority of whom are against this mass murder order. Why did we even have this expensive sham of a consultation, when they have already made up their minds to go ahead with their plans? So much for democracy.
Figures for Btb cases in Wales are now dropping, thanks to the strict cattle movement and biosecurity measures that at last farmers have to adhere to.
This isn't the end of the anti cull fight, and now the real problem is that farmers face violent confrontations with animal rights groups and become hated generally for their part in this sorry story. But it isn't the farmer's fault - it's the NFU and Elin Jones, who has misguided them with false promises of a land without Btb. What is really sad is scientists are close to a vaccine for cattle, but due to loony EU laws we will not be allowed to use it in this country. RIP brocky, you shall be sorely missed.”
