Protect Cotswold District Council's remaining badgers by investing in badger vaccination projects in the area.

This has been a meanspirited, cackhanded,faulty data based TOTAL COCKUP. With the huge floods NO stat data is reliable, in any case. ALL culling, whatever side u r on,should halt before new decisions, new culling. Jesus, Britain! You are becoming a nasty rightwing slaughter house

As the cull here was inefficient, it might be more useful to use an alternative strategy.

Stop the needless slaughter and start vaccinating

"HANDS OFF OUR BADGERS" Hampshire CC said. Wise words.You could do the same!!!

THE CULL? Total failure regarding targets - set ... missed ...then readjusted .... missed again. Scandalous waste of money and police time and resources. Ignorant disregard for years of scientific evidence. Worst of all - nothing achieved towards eradicating bovineTB - has even made it worse. Patterson, Useless Eustace - what a totally incompetent shower (oops - don't mention the weather - ask the Somerset farmers about DEFRA's record on sorting out flooding.

I spent a lot of my childhood in the Cotswolds. I learnt to love wildlife there, please do not let this unscientific cruel culling continue. Leave nature for future generations to enjoy and learn from. Otherwise they will have nothing.

Vaccination is the way to go, the scientific, humane way to go. Gloucestershire is fast becoming know as the cull zone instead of what we have to offer in beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Who wants the killing fields to become what we are known for

The cull is disgustingly cruel and horrible. It is also ineffective so please support vacicnation instead.

Let Cotswold Council lead the way in adopting a humane approach that might actually work rather than culling - which is at best ineffective and at worst, exacerbates spread of TB by perturbation.

Stop the cull and vaccinate badgers and cattle. So many badgers were killed even though they didn't have TB at a huge cost. Listen to the experts and scientists and think about what's been tried before and failed. MPs stand up and be counted you know culling doesn't work.

Please help to vaccinate badgers so this cruel culling can be stopper

Cure not kill. Come on C D C - this is your chance to do the right and intelligent thing.

My farther had a dairy farm for 60 years in Gloucestershire,he always said badgers don't give cows bTB,its the other way around! He didn't have bTB on his farm but he put the livestock before the profit.

The badgers are being made scape goats. In a civilised society, wildlife would be cherished and protected. Make sure the Cotswolds adopts the civilised, progressive and humane approach and reject culling in favour of vaccination.

This is a Bovine disease. Badgers, and other wildlife may also suffer and, like us, can be immunised. The national cattle herd must be immunised urgently. Vaccines and tests are designed and can quickly be employed, providing obstructions from powerful vested interests are removed.

Vaccination is a cost effective way of contributing to stopping the spread of TB. Culling badgers does not work, as demonstrated by the kerbs trial.

Vaccination is the most effective and economic option available. Please support the current scientific advice by using this option.

The badger cull was a fiasco. More to the point it was inhumane. 921 badgers were needlessly killed in Glos because the NFU (and elite group of farmers with friends in high places) lied about the TB figures and blamed badgers as they were an easy target. The farmers self interest (land grab and selling cheap meat to China) led to lies and corruption and a trial where any science (or indeed, abiding by any regs) was completely subjected to under hand methods and shadey deals. Vaccination is a progressive, humane and workable plan. The Govt are talking about gassing - what sort of country would we be to allow this?

Badgers are being used as scapegoats for the lack of progress on the eradication of bTB. Please listen to the scientists who are against culling and for vaccination.

Follow the science and vaccinate, do not resume the senseless slaughter of innocent wildlife.
