Badgers aren’t to blame for bovine TB — dairy farming is.
94% of cases spread cow-to-cow, not badger-to-cow.
In England in 2024 at least 17,150 badgers were culled under government-issued licenses.
End the cull. End dairy farming.

I mean, come on. The Global Methane Pledge doesn’t say “hold global human-caused methane emissions constant so our methane emissions won’t contribute to any more warming.” It says “reduce methane emissions 30% by 2030” because methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas.
This is incredibly unfair: high-income nations with large dairy sectors are looking to adopt a "no additional warming" target, avoiding the methane cuts needed to meet international targets and pledges.
