Please come out and join
us
It was made very clear last night
that the cull has started in Gloucestershire with badgers being trapped and then
shot and others being shot as they walked the fields. Our wounded badger
patrols and sett monitors were out alongside people from many other groups all
trying to help our badgers. One badger was rescued by another group and released
back to its sett.
Most of the activity seemed to be
centred in the west of the cull zone. Our Newent patrols cover that area.
We now need as many supporters as
possible to come out and do whatever you can.

Mutilated badger found in cull zone
Two badgers were found at the
weekend before the cull started. Scott and his animal rescue ambulance took one
to the Vale Animal Centre but it died later. The other had been mutilated
having had its ears cut off. This disgrace has had some press coverage .
Costs of culling exposed.
DEFRA has now confirmed new costings
for the badger cull so far. They come to nearly £7,000 per badger killed.
