A petition of over 800 signatures requesting that Cheltenham Borough Council invest in a badger vaccination programme was handed in at Cheltenham’s Municipal Offices today.
Following confirmation of a second year of badger culling in the county, members of the public have been signing online and street petitions in each of the District Councils asking them to put some money into badger vaccination to help reduce the spread of bovine TB.

Please visit the How You Can Help page for more info now..

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.
