Get directly involved in stopping the Welsh Assembly Government's illegal and immoral slaughter of Welsh badgers
A trapped badger
The Welsh Assembly Government is planning to slaughter thousands of badgers, in South West Wales,
over the next five years as part of their "plan" to eradicate bovine TB. This despite all the evidence from previous
culls that badgers do not contribute to the spread of the disease.
The five year slaughter, costing millions to the tax payer, is nothing more than a sop to the dairy farming industry
which refuses to accept that its own bad practices and poor husbandry are causing the spread of the disease and
is looking for a scapegoat.
If this cull is deemed a success it may well be rolled out to the rest of the UK so it is important we act now to stop the
wholesale slaughter of this harmless, native animal.

The originator of the sick idea that badgers have anything to do with TB is "Lord" John Krebs.
He has two main "claims to fame"...
1. The "Krebs Report" on cattle TB which sought to make the link between badgers and cattle.
2. His leadership of the Food Standards Agency at a time when it promoted industrial food production methods, including pesticides, herbicides and GM food and claimed that there were no nutritional benefits in organic foods.
He is a tool of the establishment through and through, comes from a family of establishment types and has now been made principal of Jesus College, Oxford University, for his services to the chemical food industry...! :-)
Amongst his publications:
Krebs, J.R. The Croonian Lecture. Risk: food, fact and fantasy. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B 360: 1133-44. 2005
More info:
"Sir John Krebs said the culling of up to 10,000 badgers was vital to see how the disease spreads."
