Badger Cull Campaign

Hi PetPals,

As you are all aware, the Badger Cull has begun. Despite this, the campaign to Stop the Cull is still going.

So far, petitions and protests are not getting the governments attention however there is something that will, if we all work together and get it to Number 1.

Brian May (a Queen Guitarist and Legend) is a huge animal lover and has been the driving force behind the badger cull petition and campaign. He has wrote a protest song with Brian Blessed to raise awareness and hopefully STOP THE CULL. It's called 'Save the Badger,Badger,Badger' and you can watch the video on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EllYgcWmcAY)

Mr May has said: "The British people are speaking in their many thousands, and yet the Government is refusing to listen.

"We thank them for buying this track and giving the badgers a voice. Let's get this to number one so (David) Cameron cannot avoid it.

"This cull is unscientific, unethical and won't work.

"The Government is set to murder 5,000 badgers and yet all the peer-reviewed scientific evidence shows that the answer to the problem of bovine TB in cattle does not lie in this slaughter and that this action will be ineffective and potentially damaging to the welfare of both farm animals and wildlife.

"It is shocking that the NFU and the Government have been allowed to continue with a politically-led policy with no basis in science against the will of the people."

You can purchase the song on itunes and help get it to Number 1. If it gets to Numver 1 this sunday, then  David Cameron has no choice but to listen and not ignore the protests!

Please go to Itunes and buy the song, tell all your friends and family to purchase it too.

HELP THE BADGERS BY STOPPING THE CULL. BUY THIS SONG AND GET IT TO NUMBER ONE.

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.
