Badger Cull

Proceeding contribution from Chris Williamson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 December 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Badger Cull.

I will carry on before taking a few more interventions.

What I find so scandalous about the whole process, apart from the fact that the Government have disregarded scientific and public opinion, is that the Government have withheld information about the humaneness of the cull. We were assured by Ministers that of course the cull would be humane. We had crocodile tears from Government Members in the debate earlier this year, when they said how concerned they were about animal welfare and that of course the procedure would be humane.
