Badger cull, only 4 days left

http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/badgers-and-bovineTB

Please do all you can to stop the badger cull. It is needless killing of one of our iconic wild animals with absolutely NO scientific proof that it will help decrease bovine TB but a lot of proof that it will actually increase it!

I am HUGELY against this cull so need to shout about it.

Here is the direct link to the petition to stop it, http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/38257

Thanks Hayley, I will sign it

Done x

I'll sign it.

I hate things like this. The people killing the animals don't care about the spread of disease. They're using it as a smoke screen so that they can take part in blood sports.

I think I've already signed it, but I'm happy to sign again!

I totally agree!

"The culls are designed to test the 'controlled shooting' method of culling badgers, even though free shooting of badgers will be also permitted. The pilot culls will not measure the impact on bovine TB"

WHAT? I'm obviously missing something here - on the one hand they "test" the cull, and on the other they don't measure the results that the cull is supposed to prove (ie lessening of bovine TB). What kind of a test is that????
