Thread: No to badger 'culling'!

  1. #1

    Exclamation No to badger 'culling'!

    From the Viva! website.

    Save our wildlife - Go vegan!

    "Badgers are under threat across the United Kingdom. They are the scapegoats of failed agricultural policy and political backslapping. Going against solid scientific advice the Welsh Assembly may try and forge ahead with new plans to kill badgers, despite their recent defeat in the Appeal Court battle with The Badger Trust. This will be a wildlife massacre and for nothing. The Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition have previously pledged their support for badger 'culling in England (and are now putting their plans into place), and now Northern Ireland is considering a 'cull' despite having the lowest incidence of the disease. The largest report into bovine TB found that badger 'culling' would actually make the situation worse by displacing surviving badgers. It is not too late to try and make them see sense!"


    Please consider writing or emailing to those concerned, links and sample mailings can be found here . Thanks.

    Thanks vegcurry.
    As soon as she got back after the recess on Monday, Elin Jones was back on the badger warpath.

    The government has to conduct consultation before proceeding with a badger massacre.
    It's ESSENTIAL that everyone who opposes culling responds.

    Here's a link to the Welsh Assembly Government's proposal, which has a 'Respond using the online form' link:

    LATEST ADVICE is to wait before responding to the consultation.
    The consultation document is being formally questioned by anti-cull groups.
