URGENT: Write to your MP re DEFRA Consultation on vaccination and culling

'Be in no doubt, DEFRA's proposals mean that badgers could be vaccinated in the summer and shot in the autumn".

"A betrayal of public trust and government promises to phase out badger culling in favour of badger and cattle vaccination."

We ask everyone who cares for badgers and supports the vaccination effort to contact their MP and ask them to raise this in parliament.

The Badger Trust's Open Letter to George Eustace, Secretary of state responsible for the bTB strategy explains the concerns in detail.

Helping badgers in summer

Go to Badger Trust article and advice

Badgers and other wildlife suffer during prolonged dry spells. Badgers rely on worms as their main food source. But worms go deep underground in dry periods. Badgers may have to travel longer distances and may behave oddly in their search for new sources of food and water. This can result in increased damage to gardens and crops

Please supply fresh water and consider moderate supplementary feeding. Badgers will appreciate peanuts, dog biscuit, juicy fresh fruit. Don't provide milk, dairy or meat products.

Vaccination starts 20/06/2020

OBG is delighted to be able to vaccinate again this year. We will be following additional COVID19 safety protocols. Despite this, the vaccination team plan to double the area covered by the programme.

Please help with fundraising if you can. There are many ways to support us - including shopping online!
