We recently launched a crowdfunder to support the legal challenge we are taking, in partnership with our friends at The Badger Trust, to challenge the supplementary Badger cull licences issued by Natural England (see here for background to the case).
Our crowdfunding target is ambitious – £52,486 – because we need to cover the legal costs of both organisations rather than just our own.
In our newsletter yesterday, we asked our fabulous supporters to help us to help Badgers, and we’ve been overwhelmed with the response! We raised over £30,000 in just one day and our crowdfunder currently stands at over £50,000 raised. That’s phenomenal!
We’d like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who has supported this legal challenge so far. We’re so very grateful, not just for the donations but also for the groundswell of support for our work. It’s a particularly busy time for us, with a number of legal challenges on the go as well as our wider campaigning work, so knowing that our Badger case is now pretty much fully-funded relieves some of the pressure and allows us to concentrate on the work in hand.
