🦡 Why the badger cull is wrong:
❌ Inhumane killings causing slow, painful deaths.
❌ Ineffective at reducing bovine TB.
❌ Disrupts ecosystems & wastes taxpayer money.

Well done to South Lakeland and Lancaster District CND for their recent protest at James Cropper PLC - a UK company involved in the F-35 supply chain. These parts are still being indirectly exported to Israel via the US and used in its Gaza genocide.

🦡 Over 230,000 badgers have already been killed in a cruel, ineffective cull. How many more will suffer before action is taken?
Labour admits the cull is ineffective – yet continues issuing licenses. It’s time to hold them accountable!

This society lauded a police officer who lied and cheated and ruined lives. At last, a reckoning | George Monbiot
As a ‘spy cop’, Bob Lambert callously betrayed innocent women. The official inquiry must ask harsh questions of him – and the state, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
