Animal Group is 'Badgering' Cameron

Animal Group is 'Badgering' Cameron PR Newswire LONDON, August 9, 2012 LONDON, August 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Political Animal Lobby (PAL) has launched its high-profile 'Badgering Dave' campaign to object to Cameron's proposed badger cull which is scheduled to get underway from next month. The plans will kill potentially thousands of badgers, a protected species in the UK, in large areas across parts of south west England in a misguided attempt by the Government to eradicate bovine TB (bTB). In PAL's 'Badgering Dave' campaign, a billboard sized message warning David Cameron to "Get Orff Our Badgers Dave" accompanied by a cartoon depiction of David Cameron having a discussion with HM The Queen about badgers was driven around London and David Cameron's constituency town of Witney in Oxfordshire last week. PAL founder, Brian Davies, said: "Once again, David Cameron has demonstrated a complete lack of empathy with British animal lovers and with the creatures we share this island with. "This time it is a national icon in the animal world that is under attack by Cameron with his plan to kill some 40,000 badgers for no other reason, given the science against such a cull, than to pander to the National Farmers Union.' He continued, "He will pay a price for his insensitivity at the polling booth if PAL has its way. We will be a terrier nipping at his heels until then.
