When it is, there will be no more need for culls. Until such a time, the Government needs to do its duty to farmers by removing animals in selected target areas.<br /><br />The way Elin Jones has gone about this cull has been admirable.

The only way that culling will achieve this is to make them extinct. They are not going to just kill the badgers who have TB you know, they are going to kill them all regardless. What about all the other animals who are susceptible to bTB and who pass it on across species?
