JOIN US ON SUNDAY in between 1-3 in a RALLY to stop the proposed plan to cull a family group of roe deer trapped in the new double security fence at Sellafield.
MEET AT MAIN GATE – SELLAFIELD 1 – 3pm
Bring Banners Music Yourselves – the plight of the deer is a metaphor for us all.
If ANY other industry or individual were to kill deer in the CLOSED SEASON they would receive a hefty fine and or a prison sentence not so Sellafield who are it seems above the law.
Sellafield are acting illegally and brutally in this matter. As well as the RALLY ON SUNDAY we are calling for volunteers to position themselves either at Calder Gate on a daily basis to protest the culling – or more importantly to position themselves along the fence. Shooting should not take place in the knowledge that people MAY be positioned along the fence!
There is an alternative to culling and this has been proposed by
RESPECT FOR WILDLIFE.
“We have volunteers experienced in such issues whom are local and would be able to encourage movement of the deer” Respect for Wildlife point out that if deer can be moved for culling purposes then why not use the same procedure for funneling them towards opened fences at the Calder Gate, wooded side of the Sellafield site. The fence could then be reinstated further in the woodland. This would leave the deer with free access to their wide ranging territory which includes the now fenced off area of woodland where they have been trapped by Sellafield.
If you cannot join us on the rally – phone, email Sellafield, Your MP, Ed Davey (DECC ordered the fence and the cull)

RADIATION FREE LAKELAND 
Trapped by sellafield!!!!!!that is unbelievable,,,,,
I know it is difficult to believe. Some think the deer were trapped deliberately for experiment…but perhaps they genuinely made a huge mistake…so unlike the nuclear industry!
I figure both are true…they accidentally trapped them but while they are there they intend to see if the radiation gets into the unborn babies. It allows them to see how much is escaping too. It would be more humane to test moss or lichen.
Reblogged this on Mining Awareness Plus.
No sorry no mistake. ,it is near me,deers have been there for years,plus it took 3 months to erect fence?? Were they all blind? Cost £2.million,,,,,
