Bovine Tuberculosis And Badger Culling

EDM number 2090 in 2007-08, proposed by Alun Michael on 17/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animals, Diseases and Wildlife.

That this House congratulates the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for his principled stand in rejecting calls for a widespread cull of badgers; notes that the evidence shows that such a cull would do nothing to help eradicate bovine tuberculosis and would be likely to make matters worse; considers that he is right to take his decision in accordance with science; and hopes that the Minister for Rural Affairs in the National Assembly for Wales will set aside her intention to allow a cull, and return to an evidence-based approach.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
