This is a national issue which will be of direct concern to the people of Mid Sussex District Council when DEFRA "rolls out" its culling policy during 2014.
The object of the petition is to ensure that Mid Sussex District 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 Mid Sussex District Council area.

We, the undersigned, call on Mid Sussex District 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.

Every aspect of the trials have failed. Admit defeat. It is bovine husbandry that needs addressing.
The so-called pilot trials have failed in all respects. The coalition government should be concentrating on the vaccination of cattle and badgers rather than continuing to discuss methods of killing this iconic species.
We shouldn't be killing our wildlife it there is any alternative. The Wildlife Trusts are already using a badger BCG
Vaccination is the way forward to fight Bovine TB not the culling of a protected species. What are they thinking of?
Culling is NOT the way forward - let's get the vaccination project rolling to both preserve our treasured wildlife & help reduce bTB in UK cattle.
The human species is the cancer of the earth

Sensible humane cattle farming and accination is the sensible solution, do it now.
