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

We, the undersigned, call on Woking 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.

the secret is to stop moving cattle round the country.Controlling cattle movement is the only way to control bTB. then use the badger vaccine.
barbaric & out of touch with the modern wold : no need to ranomly kill in hope of eradicting bTB. Use your head - use vaccines
Vaccination is the only way forward to help stop bovine TB.
The badger cull is unscientific and inhumane
Hampshire County Council said "Hands Off Our Badgers" you can make this wise decision!!!

barbaric and totally unnecessary in this day and age. Pointless random slaughter of badgers that may or may not be infected. Use vaccines as you would for family pets and human beings
