The national pilot badger cull organised by Natural England will finish today, three weeks early and postponed until next year.
This will give campaigners time to highlight flaws in the present culling approach adopted and to press the Government to consider other options. The cull was allowed to try and stop the spread the spread of tuberculosis and other diseases.
Mike Weatherley, MP for Hove & Portslade is a strong support of animal rights and has pledged to vote against any attempt to repeal the Hunting Act. He has consistently voted in favour of animal rights and has supported a number of campaigns for better treatment of animals in the UK.
Mike said: “A break in the cull is obviously welcome news. I hope that this period of reflection can be used to consult more on the alternatives to a cull that will help reduce TB in cattle and that this matter can be discussed again soon in Parliament. My constituents take animal welfare extremely seriously and I am always keen to echo that sentiment when I represent them in the House of Commons.”
