This is another very important Badger issue which the current Government is attempting to REMOVE THEIR CURRENT LEGAL PROTECTION by sneaking in changer and passing it as new legislation by ‘hiding it’ in proposals. THIS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN and WAV asks you to please make DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUE MP NOW. I have written on behalf of badgers to my MP about this, and in the following is a copy of my MP letter should you wish to copy or amend when you write to your own MP. Please act immediately, thank you, regards Mark.

UK – Speaking Up To Defend Our Iconic Badgers.

To be fair, I had a positive response from my MP on this, for which I send her my thanks,

England – Winter Wonderland – Please Help Support Hillside Animal Sanctuary – I Do.

https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/hillside-animal-sanctuary/

I am posting this on the site as I welcome a lot of UK supporters. The system is called ‘Easyfundrasing’ and every time you make a online purchase, suppliers give a free donation to your cause. Sometimes a few pence, sometimes a quid or more.

But the pennies all add up to supporting this wonderful animal rescue sanctuary. It costs you NOTHING, but gets money in to support Hillside.
