ROB POWNALL SEP 23 READ IN APP After many months of relentless campaigning and pressure, we finally have a date. On Monday 13th October, Parliament will debate our petition to end the badger cull. This has only been made possible because of you. Over 100,000 of you signed, shared, and spoke up, pushing this issue onto the parliamentary agenda. Without your support, this debate would not be happening. Why This Matters Since the cull began, over 250,000 badgers have been killed, alongside nearly 280,000 cattle slaughtered, yet bovine TB remains uncontrolled. The government’s so-called “25-year strategy” is failing. The science is clear: culling does not work, and it must end. This debate is our chance to set the record straight. It is our chance to expose the cruelty, the waste of public money, and the government’s refusal to build a genuine cattle-focused TB strategy. The Challenge We Face Here is the reality. Out of 650 MPs, there are perhaps five we can truly trust to speak up for badgers and demand an end to the cull. That means every single supportive MP matters, and every one of them must feel the pressure from us to attend and speak out. If they do not show up, the government’s story goes unchallenged. If they do, we have a real chance to hold them accountable. What Happens Next Over the coming weeks we will be: Briefing supportive MPs with the latest evidence and arguments Working with campaigners and allies to make sure the truth is heard Mobilising supporters like you to reach out to MPs and ask them to attend This is where you come in. How You Can Help We have prepared a clear and powerful letter for you to send directly to the MPs who need to be in that debate. It only takes a couple of minutes, but if enough of us do it, they will not be able to ignore us. 👉 Send the letter now and ask MPs to attend the debate and speak out for badgers Send the letter in seconds Together, we have forced this debate onto the parliamentary timetable.
