A no badger cull policy on Dover District council land
To ensure that they have a no badger cull policy on their land and to promote vaccination if necessary!
Why is this important?
A badger cull is not humane, or effective means of tb control. It is also costly at £4121 per badger. The vaccination is only £662 per badger. Shooting badgers is not the logical way forward in fighting tb. The badger cull is not culling due to its tb threat, it is being undertaken to prove its effectiveness and humane theory's. Both have proven huge failures.
Even though Kent is a low risk area, having a no cull policy in place will ensure more humane methods such as vaccination are put forward, in the event of a role out in the country.
