Save Me and Blue Badger are members of the coalition of animal welfare organisations agains the badger cull . www.teambadger.org
We are very grateful to Mr Bill Oddie for kindly attending the meeting at our Co Founder’s request and for also speaking at the committee meeting .
We are pleased that there will be a debate on the badger cull in Parliament on the 25th October.
MPs will be asked to vote on the floor about whether the badger cull will go ahead
We call on the government to announce they will await the debate
before starting any cull, and ask the public to contact their MP and urge them to attend the badger cull debate. Over 158,000 signatures were gathered against plans to shoot badgers in just two weeks.
We thank all the cross party MPs who have secured the debate and urge anyone who has not already done so to contact their local MP and urge them to attend. This is vital and please take this action.
We believe that vaccination of cattle and badgers, increased levels of testing, improved biosecurity and stricter controls on the movement of cattle are better ways of eradicating bovine TB , not a badger cull.
Blue Badger is working in partnership with a coalition of organisations known as “Team Badger” These include IFAW,The League Against Cruel Sports, Born Free, HSI, Network For Animals, Care for The Wild International, Save Me by Brian May, The Badger Trust, PETA, the RSPCA and other animal welfare organisations.
