As ever ,I am full of respect for the way 'Protect The Wild' simply present scientific facts based on a wealth of evidence without resorting to emotive language and hysteria.Well done to all who compiled this report

I want to echo Eamonn Harvey's words - 'Protect the Wild' and the wonderful Rob are always so calm in presenting meticulous evidence - and that is so hard to do because I know for a fact that Rob is truly passionate about the defence of our wildlife. Thank you Rob - you make it so easy to understand and therefore to share to friends, relations and strangers. Facts are always more persuasive than hysteria and fury - though I often feel both those sensations!

A brilliant summary, thank you.

As Cara posted the badgers dont have a choice, signed the petition, as stated it was a dairy farmer who started this 🐃💩 and the poor badgers have been the victims ever since we all know how farmers treat their dairy herds 😡 there just seen as cash no feelings towards animals as long as the money rolls in and the badger is just collateral damage so they can so called graze their cattle and keep the bank manager happy we kniw through scientific evidence that these culls are useless and its not the badgers that pass the tb its the disgraceful way these animals are kept in filth overcrowded go to the source and get your house in order labour

I have already signed the petition PTW and wish you the best of luck with it 🤞✊🦡❤️💖💖!! A very good comparison but with 1 major difference, the wrongly convicted innocent victims in the post office scandal weren't sentenced to death, the poor badgers are/have been though, and in their, not hundreds, but hundreds of thousands 😿💔🤬🤬🤬!!!!

Amazing article. How can anyone in politics know about these facts and still continue to allow this unnecessary slaughter? Are politicians stupid? Is it apathy? Are they corrupt? Are they puppets bring controlled by those who need the badger cull to fulfill their own agenda?

I cannot understand how anyone can either Helen 😿💔🤬 but to be honest, I think the answer to Q2, 3, 4 and 5, is unfortunately yes.

It’s awful to think, isn’t it, but I think you are right. How has it come to this, how has basic humanity has gone? What happened to those people in power, that they have become so desensitised that they don’t care about beautiful, sentient, intelligent beings. It’s all about power, money, control, and the really important things are forgotten.

Indeed. I honestly don't know Helen ❤️. My guess is that, due to human's selfishness, it has gone from having respect for others to unfortunately becoming a "me, me, me" culture today. That is unfortunately very true Helen. One saying that rings true to me here is this: "greed and the love of power and money is the route of all evil".

PEOPLE IN PRISON GET TREATED BETTER THAN ANIMALS/WILDLIFE. UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOUT/SIGN OR MARCH, THOSE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT AND GOVERNMENT JUST DO NOT CARE, AND CARRY ON TREATING US LIKE CRAP. YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK TO FRANCE WHEN PROTESTS TURN VIOLENT, THAN THE GOVERNMENT BACKS DOWN. I DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO USE VIOLENCE, BUT IT GETS TO A POINT WHEN PEOPLE FEEL THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACT .
