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.

Does my hon. Friend agree that vaccination has the effect of giving immunity on a continuing basis, by removing the disease, whereas culling has proved to be effective for only short periods, with instances of the disease then returning in great numbers? Last year there was a large number of new cases and 35 areas that were previously bovine TB-free were declared infected. The culling is therefore failing.
