Disgraceful. This Labour Govt will allow the continued slaughter of tens of thousands of badgers under a senseless badger cull.

"We're not going to end any of the existing licences, let me be clear on that." - DEFRA Minister @SteveReedMP

RT for immediate end to the badger cull

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

We'd like to say well done to John Healey MP for being appointed as the new Defence Minister.

He voted for a ban on hunting back in the day!

We're politely asking him to ban all so-called 'trail hunts' from using MoD land!

RT if you agree with us!

Looks like there is an extension to ‘my’ #Badger Family… Meet ‘Pip’ (short for Pippa or Pippin,not sure yet as too young to know)
‘Pip’ is Cub to ‘Nom Nom’ which means ‘Junior’ (now just over a year old) has a Sibling! @WYP_CNewsome @Calderbadgers1 @DorsetBBW @intheflowerbeds
