What the petition asks
Stop the Badger cull immediately as there is not sufficient evidence to justify culling a protected species. Terminate all cull licenses with immediate effect.
There is not sufficient evidence to justify culling badgers. The policy is flawed and is not necessary. No culled badgers are tested for TB.
Slurry and manure are not tested for TB when these are known areas of infection.
