Under intense pressure after thousands of complaints the BBC edited their interview with Princess Anne at last minute to include footage of Badger Army march & statement from Badger Trust against gassing However the fact remains that after dragging Chris Packham over the coals for speaking out against the cull the BBC gave Princess Anne free reign to talk of badgers exploding in number and even if bovine TB was not a problem to claim they should be gassed anyway to control numbers and protect bees and hedgehogs This all the more worse as the interview went out only days after the Government announcement on cull extension and more research on badger gassing Despite being a state funded broadcaster with clear operating rules on political impartiality, BBC Countryfile seems to have taken on the job of selling the Government cull policy I will be writing to the Director General of the BBC on Monday demanding an in depth interview for Badger Trust on Countryfile in the next few weeks to respond to Princess Anne interview Badger Trust will release this letter to the public to mobilise thousands in the Badger Army to contact the BBC to support our request Many thanks Dominic
