A LONGDON woman is launching a petition calling for an end to the culling of healthy animals and the use of vaccination.

Anne Mietke has taken her petition to West Worcestershire MP Sir Michael Spicer.

Now she wants to hear from anybody in Malvern and Ledbury who would like to add their name to the petition or help to collect signatures.

The petition is to Prime Minister Tony Blair "against the mindless slaughter of healthy animals and to demand the use of prepared vaccinations immediately, as advised by the Soil Association, to enable the countryside to get back to work".

If you would like to sign or take up the petition you can call or fax Ms Mietke on 01684 833240.
