This is a disgusting situation. Witless and arrogant regulators claiming in a nonsensical fashion that this poor man who rescued and befriended a badger should have it killed for its own welfare. How on earth have we come to a place in time that is this stupid.

Rewilded land remains green amid drought-stricken English countryside, images show | Rewilding | The Guardian. The reality that the dusty old duffers from the CA ignore. theguardian.com/environment/…

On the left, *not* a Dartmoor pony. On the right, actual Dartmoor ponies. The photos used are a pretty good indicator as to who knows what they’re talking about and who is spreading conspiracy theories. The interesting part is why they are telling lies about murdering ponies. Quite simply, a number of established vested interests do not want to see nature restored on Dartmoor or any of our other woefully nature-depleted landscapes. They want no change, and for the public money to continue flowing no strings attached.

On the west coast for last few days. Much whining goes on about eagles and the damage they do to sheep. Little is ever said about the casual losses of stock in volume which litter the land and enable predators to feed - albeit on carcasses which may contain toxins.

What the actual!!! Mass fish die off on the Hogsmill right now, pictures by Carole McCluskey. Council will be on site shortly. So very sad. 🤬 We really don't deserve this planet do we?

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Harrison Ford on Donald Trump: "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history. He doesn’t have any policies, he has whims.” RETWEET if you stand with Harrison Ford against Donald Trump!

In the midst of all the other horrid things this moron said last week was it not the case that he needed no help from us ?

Sell out audience in Thessaloniki for Derek v Derek premier. Lots of questions about how we save failing nature and bridge the divides of many sorts amongst land use groups.

Nigel Farage has kindly asked we stop sharing this video of him talking about why we should privatise the NHS 💙 You know what to do!

It’s like we’ve got a tardis and have gone back in time to an ancient medieval savagery! Watching these people who are clearly not laying and following a scent trail but instead are actively hunting foxes on a Saturday morning! Help to stop fox hunting: chrispackh.am/opsmokescreen

Let's see how many of those MPs who attended Boxing Day hunt meets yesterday, defending trail hunting, will have the guts to condemn the BSV hunt today, openly fox hunting across the busy A30. None of the supporters who saw the fox warned the hunt staff that hounds were on a fox and none stepped in to warn traffic until we told them to. Thanks to @NDHuntSabs and other monitors out today. @ProtectTheWild_ @HuntSabs @scruffycop

Just your average stranger hired by the hunt, telling someone to go back indoors as they can't walk on the public footpath while the trail hunt is going through the village.
Replying to @domdyer70
You don't even know half of it with this particular hunt, if they come through your village you can't even leave your front door unless you're a member of the hunt. They employ thugs to keep the public well away, even from public land. Local Police chiefs refuse to do anything!!!
