In the past, Care for the Wild International has teamed up with Secret World Wildlife Rescue (SWWR) and Wildlife Aid (WA) to launch the Black and White Campaign. Thousands of campaign leaflets were sent out to highlight the key anti-culling arguments.

CWI and many other wildlife charities have written to the Welsh Assembly to reconsider any proposals to resume indiscriminate badger culling in their efforts to control the spread of TB in cattle, so we are very disappointed that the cull was given the go ahead.

The Welsh Assembly will carry out an evaluation, including a post mortem examination of culled badgers, as well as detailed investigation of each cattle TB incident within the pilot area. Evaluation will also include assessing the impact of cattle movement measures and the social impact on farming families, and any ecological impact within the area. An annual report on the pilot area will also be provided. CWI will be following this evaluation closely, so please keep an eye on our website for further developments.
