So, from what I can readily tell, the UK government has an injunction to stop http://badger-killers.co.uk/ from identifying people involved with the planned cull of badgers in the UK, the supposed intent of which is to prevent the spread of bovine TB. Presumably this is because animal rights activists in the UK have a track record of threatening violence / property damage against people involved in harming animals. Unfortunately this obviously also interferes with the normal and democratic ways in which the cull might be challenged.

FWIW, personally I say screw the the cull and the censorship attempt.
