Badger Culling

Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Badger Culling.

As we know, there is a great deal of confused and unscientific thinking about this issue. TB can be spread from badger to badger, from badger to cow, from cow to cow and from cow to foxhound, among which there was recently a significant new outbreak. The Government’s approach has been crude and crowd-pleasing, not science-based. Strangely, in their reply to the petition, the Government actually had the cheek to mention the Krebs report, which was done under another Government, as a matter of some credit to them.
