This is an absolute disgrace. Not content with having slaughtered 50% of English badgers, the government is yet again bowing to the UK dairy lobby (which won't rest until it has totally eradicated English badgers).

I agree with Peter Hambly, executive director of the Badger Trust, who said they're using badgers as a scapegoat for not taking “more decisive” cattle-based action on bTB.

Badger culls do not work. They are cruel and wrong. It makes no sense to continue to kill the creatures not responsible for Bovine TB. The issue is crowding bovines and how we manage them in pasture and in barns. #BadgerCull https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/environment/uspca-chief-warns-of-biggest-animal-welfare-tragedy-if-proposed-badger-cull-goes-ahead-4263568
