Good and Bad News About the Badger Cull (mostly bad)
The Badger Cull has been in the news. Since culling started in 2013, we've become hardened to the remorseless growth of the cull zones; the horrific annual mortality figures and DEFRA's refusal to accept the evidence that culling is not effective in controlling bTB. The new Labour Government's U turn on promises to end culling if they came into power was a massive blow to our hopes (and demolished their environmental credentials).
The news is bitter sweet and hits hard. The badger cull is a national scandal. We must continue to hold the, politicians and scientists behind the Cull to account. Farmers and badgers are suffering a great disservice due to the reliance on flawed science and hearsay.
