If they can't see that the badger cull was cruel, destructive, unnecessary, foolish, anti-wildlife & a horrendously unforgivable blunder that needs to be stopped immediately - NO EXCUSES - my last shred of belief in parliamentary democracy will be as dead as 250,000 innocent badgers.

We deserve a national apology from the incompetents who allowed the carnage & a promise that the Wildlife Protection Laws will be obeyed - no exceptions for huntscum, shooters, trappers, killers of any description.

From the day I first found PtW I have known that this is an endeavour I can totally trust - and there are very few that we can say that about. Not only is PtW trustworthy, it is also ingenious in finding ways to make the public and the government listen.

Our wildlife is sacred! It's great that people are motivated to save lions and pandas but it's just as vital that we protect our own.

I have really struggled to understand what the words 'protected species' mean when they can be legally slaughtered in this way?? It's incomprehensible to me that no other wildlife charity is making as much noise. It's great that Brian May is so passionate about all our wildlife but where are other celebrities who could help?

I tear my hair out and then I pause and remember that Rob Parnell is leading the charge - thank heavens for him!

Thank goodness for Protect The Wild. (substack.com). They are fighting for the natural world which needs our human support massively. If we want to cherish our beautiful countryside and the innocent creatures that help make it beautiful we need to speak up - sign petitions - donate and make our voices heard. Please do whatever you can to make our collective voice heard through this organisation.😌

Well I sent the letter this must be the fourth or fifth time I've contacted my MP about the badger cull how inhumane and misguided it is all I've ever got back is a load of waffle I hope this time might be different I really do because it's disgusting and my heart bleeds for all those innocent creatures slaughtered for nothing I'm almost tempted to say I'd like to turn the gum around the other way

I did write to my MP and I got an email back towing the government's line that they are planning to end the badger cull by the end of this Parliament and increase cattle vaccinations and a number of other things but nothing that would suggest there was going to be any Immediate action I was a little disappointed to say the least
