Please sign and share. The recent trial badger cull in the West Country was cruel and inhumane and achieved nothing..

I've yet to see any solid evidence that confirms Badgers are a TB risk to cattle. Bovine Tuberculosis can be treated with antibiotics (as well as Foot & Mouth) even though this provides more financial support for the chemical/pharmaceutical industries. Haven't we got a moral responsibility to work alongside our wildlife,as our population steadily grows and we continue to take over more green areas,which provides more housing and fields for beef production.The wildlife which has been there for many generations then turn into "urban-animals" and "a problem" when ultimately we've invaded their home/living areas.

I think it is abhorrent to even think of bringing this murderous act to this town and strongly disagree with it. It has proved to be totally fruitless in other regions and just gives killers an excuse to slaughter these lovely and innocent animals. WE DO NOT WANT OR AGREE TO THIS CULL!!!!

A badger cull would not help anything as bovine tb is not as much a problem in this area, and splitting up families of badgers by killing half of them will spread any problem further
