18th February 2018 A Defra report has been published on the TB testing conducted on badgers in 9 badger control areas in the High Risk Area of England in 2016.

This means that, shockingly, thousands of innocent and TB free badgers have been killed needlessly over the past 5 years.

It is time the government admitted this and stopped the cruel culls.
