This campaign has been added after receiving an email from my local badger group on behalf of the Badger Trust. They are aware that they cannot keep asking people to email/ write to MPs regarding the proposed badger cull but feel that this could be the last chance to ensure that the public’s views are known before a significant announcement is made.
ONE LAST PUSH TO SAVE THE BADGERS!
Hilary Benn, Defra Secretary of State, has made it clear that any decision on a cull of badgers will take strong account of public opinion.
We are now entering a CRITICAL period leading up to a decision on this issue.
The decision will very likely be announced before Parliament rises for summer recess on 22 July.
PLEASE E MAIL HILARY BENN TODAY-EVEN IF YOU HAVE DONE SO BEFORE- AND PLEASE GET AS MANY CONTACTS, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TO ALSO E MAIL HILARY BENN STATING THEY ARE AGAINST ANY CULL.PLEASE DO THIS NOW!
PLEASE HELP THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO SHOW THAT PUBLIC OPINION IS TOTALLY AGAINST ANY CULL-YOUR E MAIL WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
E MAIL: bennh@parliament.uk
PLEASE ALSO COPY TO: PS.Hilary.Benn@defra.gsi.gov.uk
IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEND TO BOTH ADDRESSES.
IN ADDITION: PLEASE ALSO WRITE TO/E MAIL YOUR MP AND ASK THEM TO WRITE TO HILARY BENN EXPRESSING YOUR OPPOSITION TO ANY CULL.
