And cattle farming, not only destroying the planet, is destroying our native wildlife… the badgers! Nearly 250,000 killed for cattle farming. #EndTheCull
Collectively, these responses perfectly illustrate Monbiot's central argument, that perceptions of livestock farming (and farming generally) are straight out of a storybook, and bear little resemblance to the reality. 5/5

There’s no such thing as a benign beef farm – so beware the ‘eco-friendly’ new film straight out of a storybook | George Monbiot
A highly misleading new documentary claims soil carbon storage can redeem the livestock industry – it’s all so much ‘moo-woo’, says the Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This extended dry weather (driest few months for decades!!) is bad news for badgers and wildlife. Please put water out if you can! #LoveBadgers

This Woodland Trust bluebell wood hides a quiet tragedy.
Two thriving badger setts—now empty.
The cull spreads beyond boundaries. Even protected sites aren’t safe.
Badgers deserve better.
It’s time to #EndTheCull.

Badgers are under attack.
Culled, crushed by roads, and losing habitat fast. These native animals shape ecosystems—we need them.
Protecting badgers means fighting for wild Britain.
They can’t speak, but you can.

We surveyed a proposed solar farm site after the ecological appraisal claimed there were no signs of badgers.
🐾 We found signs & gave full report for the appeal hearing. We'll be informing the ecology company too!
Join us — together we can do more!

The leaves have fallen and now form a deep crunchy carpet, allowing the moonlight to shine onto the badger sett where the badgers calmly assemble ready for the night ahead.
