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

We, the undersigned, call on Mole Valley 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.

It is not proved that badgers affect cattle with disease. There is one farmer that has badgers around his cattle all of the time and they are not affected by them It is babaric to cull them when this has not been proved.
The badger cull is unscientific and inhumane
Culling badgers is a crime against our beautiful countryside.

Culling is clearly not the way forward. It wasn't before the trial and is a blatent abuse of humane treatment of animals as shown in the report. Importantly, there is another way - vaccination.
