The Badger Scandal | Save the Badger | Stop the Cull

They are nocturnal and this is one of the reasons why most people have never seen one live. They are one of Britain's most ancient species, and we are now systematically wiping them out across the country under the cover of darkness. Although a protected species, shooters can obtain licenses from Natural England as part of a licensed cull campaign that the government claims will help to eradicate a disease in cattle that has over the past decade or so been transmitted to wildlife reservoirs. Or so it is believed. And one of those wildlife reservoirs is the badger! But what is the truth? And what does this mean for Britain's badgers and the habitats and ecosystems where they live? The futility and injustice of a costly and widening indiscriminate slaughter of an iconic, mostly disease-free mammal. The cull is an unscientific massacre taking place. Cattle-to-cattle transmission is far and away the main cause of bovine TB. The disease is essentially a respiratory one. Badgers and cattle rarely ever meet, so how can badgers (which spend 75 percent of their time underground) be infecting them? The cull is a scandal. Ineffective, costly, cruel, politically driven, and widely condemned as unscientific. Thousands of healthy badgers which cannot possibly make any contribution whatsoever to the spread of bovine TB are being killed while the main cause --ineffective testing of cattle --continues, as it has for decades. With this year's cull, it will take the total to over 200,000.
