This RSPCA Christmas Carol gives a sinister twist after the government has confirmed details of a badger cull to take place in England.
Here are the lyrics to the topical take on "The 12 Days of Christmas":
"On the 12th day of Christmas they announced a badger cull
12 furry badgers
11 furry badgers
10 furry badgers
9 furry badgers
8 furry badgers
7 furry badgers
6 furry badgers
5 still sick cows
4 angry farmers
3 confused MPs
2 badgers left
...and a vaccination they could have used."
