Campaign Against the Badger Cull

The Campaign Against the Badger Cull is a movement in the UK aimed at stopping government-sanctioned culling of badgers, which are seen as carriers of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) affecting cattle. Advocates argue that culling is inhumane and ineffective, suggesting that it doesn't significantly reduce bTB levels and can disrupt local ecosystems. The campaign promotes vaccination of badgers and better biosecurity measures as alternatives. Supporters include wildlife conservationists, animal welfare groups, and concerned citizens who emphasize the need for humane solutions to address bTB while protecting wildlife.
