Displaying colourful placards and banners and with some wearing badger face masks we met up outside the Welsh Assembly offices and then had a short procession to the promenade for a rally and speeches.

All the time we were there, cars driving along the prom were hooting their support, showing that the decision to placate a few farmers with a 'cull' is going to backfire hugely with the electorate. The next stage of the campaign will be to publicise more widely which AMs voted in favour of wasting money on killing our wildlife, going against the clear advice of an Independent Scientific Group.

Thanks to North Wales Animal Rights organiser Judi Hewitt for coordinating this successful event.
