Closed Prevention of a badger cull in Cornwall, help us fund ongoing badger vaccination

Closed on

We the undersigned oppose any form of badger cull in Cornwall and ask for the support of DEFRA and local MPs to instead fund an on-going vaccination programme for badgers in Cornwall.

In the light of pilot schemes being continued in some areas in 2013 and the proposal of culls in further areas in 2014 we urge the government to focus their attentions on addressing this issue in a scientific manner. Through the vaccination of badgers.

The undersigned also ask for the support of local MPs including Stephen Gilbert, George Eustice, Andrew George, Sheryll Murray, Sarah Louise Newton and Dan Rodgerson, to vote against a cull of badgers in future voting.
