Badger Demo Cardiff

[Bristol] BARC | 27.06.2010 13:22

Demo against Thomson Ecology Cardiff
Following the success of the protest outside Thomson Ecology on Friday, we have arranged to pay them another visit. Please come along, invite your friends and share the link to this page. Let's get as many people there for this one as we did on Friday.
Thomson Ecology is the company responsible for surveying for badgers and sett locations prior to the Welsh Assembly badger killing due to start any day now, i.e. these people are finding out where the badgers are and where best to trap them, then passing the information directly onto the badger killers at WAG who will cage trap them and shoot them. Thomson Ecology may as well be pulling the trigger!

Join us outside its new Welsh office in Cardiff to tell them what the public thinks of its involvement in the slaughter of innocent badgers, which are supposed to be a protected species. Bad farming practices and the dairy industry are to blame for the spread of TB in cattle, not badgers! Scientific government research has already proven that culling badgers has no positive effect on the number of TB outbreaks in dairy herds.

The people carrying out the badger survey are more than likely based out of this office, so we will be taking the protest right to the individuals involved.
Please bring banners, placards and lots of noise!

Demo from 12noon until 2pm, Friday 18th June at Thomson Ecology, Williams House, 11-15 Columbus Walk, Cardiff, CF10 4BY. Transport from Bristol, please contact BARC for details: www.bristolanimalrights.org.uk or barc@hotmail.co.uk. Lifts from Bristol.

If you can't make the demo, or even if you can, please contact them to politely tell them what you think of their behaviour. Or organise another protest at one of their offices:
