Consent granted for badger cull licences
Landowners and farmers from two areas in Gloucestershire and Somerset are now able to apply for licences to cull badgers as part of the Government’s efforts to tackle the impact of bovine TB.
Agriculture minister Jim Paice confirmed that the pilot schemes would use controlled shooting.
He said: ?Nobody wants to cull badgers, but no country in the world where wildlife carries TB has eradicated the disease in cattle without tackling it in wildlife too.?
