Campaign Story
This is my fourth year fighting the badger cull. I am going down for 4 out of every seven days to the end & helping to protect a specific area with around 25 setts which I have protected for 3 years & know very well. I also go wherever needed in an emergency & with this year's cull zones four times as big as previous culls we are severely stretched. While there I work day & night, checking setts & protecting them by staying at them all night & chaisng off shooters if that's what it takes. Our presence in this area for the last 3 years means only one sett has been completely lost. It really does make a difference in protecting badgers from this 'ineffective and inhumane' cull as described by the Tories' own Chief Scientific Advisor. It's not about BTB, it's about clearing a protected species from the land to free it up for profitable development. This fight is to save badger's lives & for the fundamentals of who owns our land & the future of our wildlife. While there I am unstinting in my efforts to stop badgers being slaughtered. In four years I have only once appealed for funds to help me with travel costs & have spent a lot of my own money. This year I am not in a position to do that & am asking for your support. It costs at least £45 petrol every trip, with driving around the massive cull zones too & I am devoting myself to this with no income until it ends. My actual target is £130 as I am happy to pay part costs myself, but this site requires a minimum of £250 (I will spend a lot more than that over the weeks of the cull). Any help will be greatly appreciated and go entirely on travel costs & upkeep of essential equipment such as torches. Thankyou for reading & I will keep you all posted on our successes & adventures x

Update posted by Morag Reid at 07:39 pmHome for a short break to sort family & my own animals, after a busy week protecting out area of the Gloucestershire zone. Direct results with the BBA driving shooters away from two setts after cross-country chases. Cat & mouse games all week, ending with a shooter free last night
Great start - thank you Anonymous!

Can I just say, the anonymous Mrs Badger you are absolutely amazing! Thankyou so much for caring for the badgers - your generosity will spur us on even more to save the badgers. This week we’ll also be giving a lift down to two young badgerists who will then split up & protect different areas so we really are making every penny count. Much love from our badgers to you xxx

In memory of the badger whose blood I've just seen pictured in a cage, in the fervent hope and conviction that your bravery and commitment will stop at least a little more from being spilt xx

Praying that more badgers can be saved and the Government realises what a massive mistake it is making.
