为消除牛肺结核病 英国大量捕杀獾

This is middle England's response to the badger cull,ordinary people out at night,trying to protect their local wildlife. As the sun set,the Wounded Badger Patrol set off on its peaceful mission led by ***.

-As you can see the very middle England people, they are here today. They aren't extreme activists.We are here to speak for the badgers and also to try to talk to people and explain to our members that the science is just not backing this cull.

Over six weeks around 5000 badgers be shot by trained marksmen in west Gloucestershire on west Somerset ,try and stop the spread of TB in cattle.Some groups have suggested they will take more direct action to stand in the way of those involved in the cull.

-The sound that you hear,it sounds and has been described like this many times,it is the sound like a woman being absolutely tortured and murdered.

Yet for these campaigners finding and helping the endangered badgers is their priority.

-In terms of animal welfare,it's just not right,not right for badgers and once we focus on shooting badgers,we are not actually addressing the issue of how Bovine TB spread within farms.

Even if that means walking the countryside in the dark which shooting due to take place at dusk and dawn.

Tonight this has been a practice for the wounded badger patrolers,but they know that over the next six weeks,they are gonna have to do all of these for real.

For now they simply have to wait,aware that they can not stop this cull but not prepared to simply walk away.
