Day 21 and today we shine a spotlight on #Bruton. Home of Wyke Farms (famous for it’s cheese) who refused to comment on whether they were killing badgers on their land, so we’ll take that as a yes then! The cull began here in 2018.

If you live in the area and would like to find out what you can do to protect badgers living here, then get contact us via our website: somersetagainstthebadgercull.uk ... See MoreSee Less

Day 20 and today we are shining a light on #SheptonMallet where killing badgers began in 2018.
If you live in the area and would like to find out what you could do to help protect badgers living in ancient setts in the area, then drop us an email. We have new groups forming across the county who would be happy to meet with you, show you how to sett survey & when the killing begins again, join patrols. Patrols do save lives.

The #badgercull remains inhumane, ineffective (there is no evidence whatsoever to show culling badgers has had any effect on bTB) and is unscientific.

Want to find out what you can do to protect badgers? Come and find us at the Clevedon Vegan Fair - Sunday June 9th.

We will have a stall with leaflets, wristbands, badges and vegan cook books for sale. But our primary purpose is to look for new recruits to help protect badgers in the local area.

Also, between midday until 3pm our very own Boudica Badger will be part of a revolutionary 'Vegan Human Book Library'. (The Human Library is a place where real people are on loan to readers) Created to provide a safe, friendly and non-confrontational way for people to explore veganism so come and ask Boudica some questions. To whet your appetites, here's a little bit more about the Badger Warrior Queen...

BOUDICA BADGER
(To be honest (being a badger) she's not entirely vegan! however...she is...

Loved by many
Hated by some (through no fault of her own)
A warrior for badgers everywhere

Boudica Badger urges people to become vegan for the sake of wildlife.

Badgers are hated by some people because they believe that badgers are responsible for bovine TB. But the problem of bTB was created by people and is now exacerbated by Government policy and supermarket pressure.

Cows lead stressed-out lives and dairy cows have the worst time of all. If people switched to a vegan diet and less land was committed to producing cheap dairy and meat products, badgers could well be better off.
Even if Boudica herself isn’t a strict vegan all the time, she’s an advocate for veganism. So come and talk to Boudica Badger to find out what it might have been like to be a badger living in Britain before people arrived and what it's like to live as a badger in 21st century Britain.

SEE YOU THERE!

This week we are going to shine the spotlight on towns and villages where the badger cull is already happening.
The Fields of Avalon, Glastonbury, home to Glastonbury Festival and a place that should be a haven for wildlife...started killing its badgers here last year.
Knowing a cull was coming and pressured by horrified members of the public & Somerset Wildlife Trust, Michael Eavis (a vocal badger cull supporter) stepped down from his role as honorary VP of the Trust.

Culling will begin in the fields around Glastonbury again soon. If you are horrified by this and live locally, get in touch to join our patrols, or find out how you can protect badgers living here, in 2019.
