I'd like to be able to start this page with words like 'on the back of all the publicity...' or 'following extensive media coverage of...' you'll no doubt be aware of the horrendous badger cull currently taking place in our countryside.
But sadly, owing to the usual government media restrictions, this issue hasn't had nearly enough media attention in my opinion and the government certainly hasn't listened to its electorate, or indeed the actual hard facts of the science. And so the senseless killing has begun.
If this is news to you, then I invite you to find out more from these links below and to then add your voice to the campaign against the cull.
And although you may be thinking it's too late because the cull has already started, then my message to you is that it's NEVER too late. As you'll see below we still need to make our opinions heard (as they affect future plans for this wildlife species,and others) and help those brave people willing to risk everything in the field delaying shootings, gathering evidence and rescuing injured badgers. It's gruelling, harrowing work and they need our support.
These are just some of the things that I've done to lend my support - they are quick, easy and could make all the difference.
BE the change. Thank you.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
Make the strongest stand that you can and consider going vegan.
It's easier than you think, and you'll be joining a growing number of 1000's of conscientious and compassionate people in the UK. In doing this you
will send a clear message that taking life unnecessarily is wrong. Badgers are
just one example of life that's being killed in order to temporarily (so
say) protect another species that is subsequently abused 24/7 and then killed -
all for the sake of products that humans don't need. Products that are,
in fact, bad for us.
It's an insane circle of injustice and death - but
you can play a part in stopping it.
Please contact me if you'd like to talk about this.
Anything that I've missed? PLEASE let me know asap and I 'll update this page.
