Photos – The Badger Trust.

This is a VERY important issue in a British Government attempt to quietly and covertly REMOVE PROTECTION for our wonderful and iconic Badgers by allowing UK housing developers to remove or kill an animal that is currently protected by law – under the well named Protection of Badgers Act 1992.

But the Government is trying to destroy badger protection by introducing a newly proposed housebuilding law currently in the House – it is called the ‘Planning and Infrastructure Bill’, or ‘PIB’ for short.

Here is an outline from the Badger Trust of what this new PIB is about – potentially another death sentence for the animals, which are still being slaughtered by the very same Labour government who are using Bovine TB as justification for ill informed mass murder – https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/stop-the-bill

We want Conservation, NOT CONCRETE !

Yesterday, I wrote to my own Member of Parliament (MP) on this very issue. Here is a copy of my e mail:

I make no apologies for the basic, blunt tone; this is a government who intends to murder badgers through new legislation in the form of Section 6, Part 2 of the proposed PIB.

I hope that you UK residents will join with us badger advocates by finding your own MP, and writing as outlined in the Badger Trust action link – https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/

On behalf of the ‘brocks’ who cannot act to defend themselves, thus we must act in their defence – THANK YOU.
