Badgers versus Cows

I have been thinking in the badgers .. 

You know what is the problem with the badgers: we don't eat them!!

At a dinner talk with friends, it raised the talk about a farm man who was really upset because the badgers were around his cows. He apparently said he hated badgers and wanted to kill them. He argued some new building houses in the town make the builders move the badgers away --strange job for a builder, but it was the story, they couldn't build on top of badgers so they moved them by themselves-- and the badgers ended up in his cow farm, and he believed the badgers could make sick his cows with TB (tuberculosis) .. well it was a strange sickness contagion between different species to happen, but he believed it was an obvious danger for the cows.

Basically he cared about his cows but not about badgers .

They were his cows.

They were none-one's badgers.

The cows were nicely housed, but the badgers were pulled away from their home.

Thinking in the size of the cow versus the size of the badger. I would be more worry for the badger to be injured for a cow than vice-versa!

Now the privilege of being a cow over being a badger, is discriminatory but is quite sensible.

Cows are more important than badgers because we can eat them.

Cows even generated income to him and it was (is) his job to care of them.

If we had badgers as part of our normal food, that guy would be creating a nice house with a solarium for the badgers to multiply happily, and even prevent them from getting sick with any TB.

That is why there are more cows than badgers .

Humans protect the specie cow indeed, badgers are useless to us.

Still human usability is the criteria on efforts for protection of animals.

We should eat and farm more variety of animals ..
