The Badger Cull

Despite protests and petitions, it was announced today that the Badger Cull had begun. It is a very sad day for not only the protesters but the badgers too as 100,000 of them are to be killed in order to supposedly 'control TB levels in cattle'. The problem is, there is no scientific proof that the cull will reduce TB and therefore thousands of Badgers are being murdered for the sake of it or if you might call it 'fun'.

It seems like our Governments answer to everything these days is to kill/ignore the facts. These beautiful creatures that existed long before us are being killed just because its effecting our way of living. Shouldn't we live alongside these animals in harmony? 

What's also disgusting about this cull is that the Badger is a protected species under the Wildlife Act yet our own Government are ignoring a law that THEY passed. It's no wonder there is so much crime in the world when it's okay for some people to break the law and for others it's not. 

A Badger Cull was actually performed in the 1990's and the results proved that culling the badgers did not reduce TB and that those badgers killed died for nothing.

There is one simple answer to reducing TB and that is to vaccinate the badgers. Yes, it's time consuming and costly BUT IT WORKS and there is SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to back it up! Scotland, Ireland and now Wales are proof that it has worked!

With so many animals endangered as it is (because of us) we should be doing more to save the species that live here and not killing them!

PLEASE sign the petition, it's not too late to stop the cull, it takes 2 minutes and you won't get any spam/junk mail. YOU can STOP THE CULL, YOU can SAVE THE BADGERS LIFE'S and YOU can PROTECT THEM so that the next generation can see them too.
