Stop The Welsh Cull

Completely opposed to the killing of badgers in Wales

[Stop The Welsh Cull @stopwelshcull]

England has killed 250,000 badgers since 2013. Wales has had no widespread badger killing.

New Bovine TB herd incidents have been consistently lower in Wales. The #badgercull does not work on its own terms.

Wales has the highest proportion of animal lovers in the UK. We don't want @Plaid_Cymru's badger cull. https://t.co/0F87tsAe0p

Turns out the best way to tackle bovine TB is to treat the bovines who get TB.

[Farmers Guardian @FarmersGuardian]

🚨 A cattle TB vaccine is targeted for rollout by 2030 under a new strategy aiming to eradicate bovine TB in England by 2038.

Norfolk farmer John Cross, who chaired the steering group behind the strategy, described it as "the best plan for TB freedom we have ever had to date".

Do you believe a cattle vaccine can help bring an end to the disease?

“What is @Plaid_Cymru's preferred method of killing badgers? Is it to shoot badgers? To poison badgers? Perhaps bludgeon them, or gas them?

“Would you want the badgers shot or poisoned or do you have another method in mind?”

Wales needs to follow England's lead and tackle bovine TB in bovines, leaving the wildlife alone. https://t.co/TO2sCagy53

For now but it could restart in this Parliament or definitely after next election if Reform forms a Government. Also real danger culling will start in Wales & Northern Ireland in the months ahead. The badger blame game continues

RSPCA Cymru identifies potential introduction of cull as one of biggest threats to #animals in Wales.
England's cull cost £23.7M 2014-2024 ~ but bovine🐄TB still persists.
1000s could be culled - whether infected or not.😱

On Saturday 9th of May, The Badger Trust CEO Nigel Palmer reminded people that Badgers are the forgotten victims of hunting.

In an article by The Badger Trust Nigel states "“Terriermen working for hunts, often seen using quad bikes, block badger setts to force foxes into the open rather than allowing them to escape underground. They also send terriers into setts and dig out foxes, which is illegal. If hunts were truly following a scent trail, terriermen would have no role.”

The article also says, "of all the crimes committed against badgers, approximately 16% relate to the illegal blocking of setts, the majority of which are linked to fox hunting. This is especially significant given that hunting activity takes place over only five months each year from November to March."

This figure is likely to be much higher because as we know all too well most wildlife persecution takes place well away from prying eyes and there is no doubt a lot more cases that aren't reported.

Don't hang up your badger sabbing boots quite yet. Wales could well be next .... watch this space.

[Hunt Saboteurs Association @HuntSabs]

As we reach the end of the cruel and inhumane badger cull in England, we look back over nearly 13 years - remembering the 250,000 badgers killed and the extraordinary efforts of those who tried to save them, efforts that also saved many lives.

Wales achieved no worse results in terms of reducing cattle b🐄TB without a pointless mass slaughter of #wildlife than England did with one ~
& Labour in England has now kept its promise to #stopthecull.
Hope Plaid Cymru thinks on what we pointlessly went through.

Well as expected the response from my Plaid MP is very vague and non comital RE Badger cull in Wales. If they weren't going to start a cull in Wales they'd say so. 250,000 badgers slaughtered in England and they still want to look at science, it's about appeasement, not science.
