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

We, the undersigned, call on Rushcliffe 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.

Please don't kill any more badgers! The cull in Gloucestershire and surrounding area has been PROVEN to be UNEFFECTIVE and INHUMANE therefore all those poor badgers were killed inhumanly for NO reason!!
vaccination is the way forward
The proposed cull will not be effective in preventing bovine Tb. Badgers are supposed to be protected. Lets protect them.

The badger cull is unscientific and inhumane,

Killing badgers has be shown over many years not to solve the problem of TB in cattle. A vaccination programme is the way forward.
