This is a national issue which will be of direct concern to the people of Bassetlaw Borough Council when DEFRA "rolls out" its culling policy in 2014.
The object of the petition is to ensure that Bassetlaw Borough Council's badger population is as safe as possible from slaughter and that the already available injectable badger vaccine against bTB is used in as many cases as possible.
We ask this because we believe the culling policy is inhumane (DEFRA's measurement of "humaneness" is to time the screams of wounded badgers), inefficient (previous culls showed an increase in bTB because of badger movement) and unscientific (the majority of scientific opinion hold that a cull will have "no meaningful result").
To preserve the integrity of this petition please only sign it if you live, work or study in the Bassetlaw Borough Council area.

We, the undersigned, call on Bassetlaw Borough Council to prohibit the culling of badgers on council-owned land and invest in vaccination programmes locally. We ask this because we believe culling to be inhumane, inefficient and unscientific.

I honestly cannot believe how many people have stepped up lately because it makes me realize that we actually have a real chance of stopping this horrific policy on our own land. Seeing all these notifications pop up makes me feel like we might really force the council to listen if we keep pushing for vaccination over slaughter.

The trial has been a total shambles, this madness should stop now, and the science should be followed.
I have family in the Bassetlaw area and I visit regularly. It has been shown that culling badgers does little to prevent the spread of bovine TB as well as being inhumane. Invest in alternative methods and protect our badger population.
stop the culling and save the badger from this despicable slaugher
say no to the cu!!
Pointless destruction of a wonderful creature in the misguided interests of a minority and the brass in their pockets.
The badger cull is inhumane and unscientific.
I will do everything in my power to protect the badgers in my area

Vaccination & biosecurity will be effective in the long term - culling is cruel & ineffective.
