I am a wildlife sculptor and have been, for the past 10 years, actively opposing the badger cull in England, and now also in Northern Ireland too. I’ve lead the Great Badger Trail, a protest march of 130 miles from Gloucester to outside Parliament in Westminster, London, on the eve of the 2nd years badger cull. I’ve taught sett surveying, given speeches on how to control Bovine TB without killing wildlife, attended more demonstrations than I can remember, and even master minded a Community Art Action, spray chalking the bloody outlines of 2,000 dead badgers across the streets, at the end of the 1st year of badger killing, in my district, followed by a ceremonial wake for those needlessly killed.
