Rejected petition The culling of badgers should not be allowed in the UK.

Since 2013, thousands of badgers have been killed in a Government cull attempting to control bovine TB. Against scientific advice & before a 4 year trial has completed, the government is now going to cull 40% of the Uks badgers. The animals could just as easily be vaccinated rather than culled.

More details

The vaccinations would also be cheaper due to the parents passing it on to their young so they would be covered and wouldn’t get TB.
