Badger Cull

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 October 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Badger Cull.

Even coming from Brighton Pavilion does not stop someone reading the science. I would like the debate to be based on the science, not on emotional calls from the Government Benches. Professor Lord Krebs, who devised the randomised badger cull and is firmly opposed to the cull, has said:

“I have not found any scientists who are experts in population biology in the distribution of infectious diseases in wildlife who think that culling is a good idea… People have cherry-picked certain results to try to get the argument that they want.”
