Anti Cull sites

Cull Watch is a powerful campaigning tool, with the main focus on frankly publicising the reality of the badger cull. It makes information about the cull available to the public.It also offers legal and peaceful support to landowners when faced with visits from WAG contractors. It aims to directly publicise the events in West Wales as they unfold, through a completely law-abiding programme of reportage. When the full scale of the cruelty is known, citizens of Wales and beyond can hold those responsible to account via voting and consumer choices. Support to pro-badger landowners is also available in the form of a physical presence, capable of witnessing and recording the actions of WAG’s anonymous contractors. The presence of cull monitors will also serve as a deterrent to further illegal cruelty which could occur during badger trapping and killing".
