From ‘Wild Justice’…..
“A new challenge of Badger culling: yesterday we sent one of those Pre-Action Protocol letters to Natural England.
Wild Justice and our friends at the Badger Trust have joined forces to send a formal legal letter to Natural England about its decision in May 2024 to grant nine new Supplementary Badger Cull licences and to authorise 17 existing licenses, contrary to the scientific advice of Natural England’s own Director of Science, Dr Peter Brotherton.
According to documents seen by Wild Justice and the Badger Trust, Dr Brotherton had advised Natural England that he’d found “...no justification for authorising further supplementary Badger culls in 2024 for the purpose of preventing the spread of disease and recommend[ed] against doing so“. It appears Dr Brotherton’s expert advice was overridden in favour of not upsetting the farming industry.
Wild Justice and the Badger Trust have sent a formal Pre-action Protocol Letter to Natural England which argues that we think Natural England’s decision was unlawful. This letter provides Natural England with an opportunity to respond to our allegations by 15 July 2024 and if we consider the response to be unsatisfactory we may launch a request for a formal Judicial Review.

The general election is tomorrow: you can read 48 opinion pieces written about the environmental content of the parties' election manifestos, find an up-to-date index of blogs, plus links to party manifestos, by clicking here. Thank you for all the positive comments you have sent us. We don't think a similar environmental resource for voters exists anywhere else.
