Gloucestershire Against Badger Shooting (GABS) is a group of volunteers who came together in the summer of 2012 to try and prevent the planned badger cull in our county. Like farmers, we want to see the end of the spread of Bovine TB in cattle, but the evidence shows that culling badgers is not the answer. We work with local people and national charities. We only campaign peacefully and within the law and do not believe in intimidation. We have supporters of all ages and occupations, including farmers.

In Gloucestershire, badgers can be shot from the 1st June 2013.

Scientists and government advisers have said a cull wont help farmers and their battle with bovine tb in cattle.

Shooting badgers involves risks
- it may not work, the badger will get injured and die a slow painful death.
- people may be out in the countryside.

Join our Wounded Badger Patrol to walk public footpaths and look for wounded badgers.
