Stop culling of badgers permanently

What the petition asks
A vaccine against bovine TB currently exists, and we believe culling badgers is completely unnecessary.
Enough is enough! End the culling of badgers! They are native animals with just as much right to their lives as we have to ours!
Badgers are native and important animals. Humans are damaging the planet with our farming of cattle and persecuting and killing native wildlife in order to “protect” the farmed animals so that we can slaughter them and eat them.
Badgers are important to our ecosystems. They are our largest extant land predator! They have a right to live just as we do!
We demand that all badger culling be stopped immediately and replaced with more humane and non-lethal methods to control bTB.
