Closed petition Petition the Government to stop expanding the badger cull across the country
Closed on
Bovine TB is a devastating disease for farmers and cattle. However, the badger cull is proven to be unscientific Inhumane and ineffective.At a cost of £20 million pounds so far a roll out across the country can not be justified.Move away from culling and focus on cattle based measures.
Wales have reduced incidents of bovine TB by 48% without killing a single badger.
The Randomised badger culling trials undertaken by the last government killed 11,000 badgers and proved that culling badgers will not reduce the disease
95% of the disease is spread by cattle
