Within a few weeks of a cull, other immigrating badgers will have occupied the vacated territory. Why?? Research scientists thrive on the principle the more you look, the more you find and the less you know. The only beneficiaries from yet another failed cull will be the egos of the badger groups; they would then claim that It is not our badgers!

But safe and effective? Bourne has repeatedly stated that PCRs will never be used. He is also aware that it is that left that marker could well be dead Within a few years, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food began killing badgers to eradicate this wildlife reservoir of disease.

Trapping has a high capital expenditure and is labour intensive - daily visits to inspect the traps. What do you do?
