Closed Vaccinate badgers instead of culling

Closed on

The Government have decided to extend the culling area and increasing deaths. This is based of little evidence and is destroying ecosystems. Why not just vaccinate them if it's a problem?

Also it is estimated that 6% of bTB cases amongst cattle are as a direct result of badgers, which is a small amount, so why not just vaccinate a few!
