The Labour Party has labelled the badger cull as 'ineffective,' yet they still permit existing cull licences to continue. Repost if you agree this is unacceptable!

It's ineffective. Natural England's Scientific Adviser said it should end immediately. He was ignored. Labour are betraying those who voted for them on the grounds that the cull would be stopped. We are one of the most wildlife depleted nations in the world. Wildlife needs protection not destruction
