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 latest news is bitter sweet and hits hard. Without doubt, the badger cull is a national scandal. We must continue to hold the farming industry, politicians and scientists behind the Cull to account.
