Leicestershire & Rutland Badger Group

Malcolm Bennett at Nottingham vet school suggests that badger TB research indicates badgers needed protecting from infected cattle brought into in Derbyshire, so why the hell was badger culling allowed to go ahead in 2020? @APHA @DefraGovUK

For our talk next month, Malcolm Bennett from @nottinghamuniv will be talking badgers & TB. It’s online, though with limited spaces, so book yourself a free place now: fb.me/e/b753AQ8Pu.

He normally talks shit, but 20 years ago he managed to drivel some sense. Well done Owen!

It’s been 14 weeks now since I last saw Little Humbug hopefully she’s just moved on and will come back to see me now and again. She is the bravest cheekiest Badger that I’ve ever known, maybe because I’ve know her since she was a little cub and I spent a good 4 years with her😍🐾

Well said @domdyer70 #canthecull

I debate with a farmer on why badgers are not to blame for spreading bovine TB to cattle on @BBCLookNorth @BadgerTrust @ChrisGPackham @WildlifeTrusts @DerbyshireBEVS @OxonBadgers @MarkAvery @LeagueACS well worth viewing dailymotion.com/video/x7vz18v

Meet Cecilia. GPS-tracked for two years, she had a tiny home range & repeatedly tested negative for TB. She was shot dead on Day 1 of the North Cornwall #badgercull. Tomorrow night, hundreds more will meet the same fate. Help us test an alternative at crowdfunder.co.uk/cornwall-badge…

We were horrified to learn that Leicestershire could be included in this year’s badger cull. We need your help! Support our public campaign to stop the cull, take action now 👉 bit.ly/3iVcR3r 🦡 📸Andrew Parkinson/2020Vision

. RT @domdyer70 @NFUtweets @Dunne4Ludlow @DKShrewsbury @OwenPaterson @lucyallan @MPritchardUK Vital read: this letter from a former @NaturalEngland senior director in Saturday's @ShropshireStar scotching the myth that badger culling reduces #bTB in cattle. #StopTheCull #ItsACon

12,500 people have written to their MPs to #StopTheCull. If you haven’t yet, do it NOW and if you have, then please share, share, share! We still have the chance to influence this decision and avoid a cruel, expensive and pointless cull. #PeoplePower
