Badger group makes repeated cull plea to Oxford scientists

A letter urging Oxford University scientists to back calls for an end to the badger cull has been delivered to the university alongside a petition with more than 12,000 signatures.

Oxfordshire Badger Group delivered the open letter and petition to the Department of Biology on April 17.

The group describes the cull as “cruel and ineffective” adding that the scientist’s research has been “misused” to “justify the killings”.
