The state has killed over 66,000 badgers over the last ten years through horrific snares.
Ireland is the only country in Europe that mass-slaughters badgers like this, and the practice is banned in Scotland and Wales.

This is destroying our ecosystem, and has no significant effect on TB incidents. The real culprit is intensive industrial farming, leading to an increase in disease.

This cruelty must end.

State-Sanctioned Slaughter of Badgers

Ask of me what the birds sang,
High in the hawthorn tree;
What the breeze tells,
What the rose smells,
What the stars shine
Not what he said to me!

“A magpie, seeing some light-colored object conspicuous on the empty slope, flew closer to look. but all that lay there was a splintered peg and a twisted length of wire.”

Beware, beware the hawthorn
Lest it strike you down
For if you take an axe to it
You’ll rue that you were born

We propose to increase native tree planting by councils in public green spaces and on streets, & to involve communities in community woodland tree planting days organised by the councils.
