But we can't afford to stop now, defenceless animals still need us. Read on to see how you can help.

While this vote alone will not stop the cull from going ahead, it's a huge step in our campaign to get this reckless policy shelved altogether. Please email your MP thanking them if they voted against the cull and if they didn’t, urge them to reconsider the overwhelming arguments against the badger cull.   Scrap the badger cull             Billy   German shepherd Billy was given a second chance by the Hartshorne family.
