Trail hunting is a sham. It’s time for a ban on trail hunting and to end this nonsense for good. REPOST if you agree!

There should be a permanent hunting ban on MOD land. Follow us if you agree!

BTB in Gloucs, responding to annual testing in 2010. Levels off in 2020 as 3rd year of badger culling comes into force = no influence whatsoever. It's a fail and suggests herd reservoir maintains the epidemic.

Defra cheating fraudsters, to cover up huge failure? Surely not @DanielZeichner @SteveReedMP https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/post/defra-purposely-misleads-the-public-in-the-new-quarterly-tb-in-cattle-report

So now Labour will carry out a huge (350 sq km) intensive (LRA) badger cull in Cumbria because someone in the old gvt. planned it. Because it is ineffective as shown by previous Cumbria cull? Warped. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2024-09-04.4281.h&s=badger+cull#g4281.q0

Crowd outside Westminster demanding change to the bTB policy and a sensible new strategy that won't waste £1 Billion going forward. #endthecull

APHA failure to test & control cattle TB spread properly in Cumbria will result in a further badger bloodbath? Disgraceful.

Great to see the honest insight into @dicksibley investigations at Gatcombe and beyond. Huge congratulations also to the @TheSaveMeTrust and BBC for capturing vital learning. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02729-3
