reasons to stop badger cull in england

When people think about the British wildlife they think about foxes, squirrels and .... badgers.But soon that will change real soon if you allow British farmers to kill badgers

Eleven thousand badgers have already been killed as a trial to see if it will help reduce bovine TB and the trial concluded that, at best, there would be a 16 per cent reduction in the spread of the disease.

The cost of culling badgers is even more expensive than vaccinating them. Using government figures, it costs more to cull and police a cull like this than it does to cage, trap and vaccinate, also the amount of people need to help wounded and half-dead badgersuch as those out on wounded badger patrols, who would no doubt be willing to train to do this. 

As culling cannot be selective many perfectly healthy badgers will be slaughtered in fact, as many as 6 out of 7 badgers killed could be TB free.
