“The plans for a cull of badgers in two pilot areas – West Gloucestershire and West Somerset – to prevent the spread of bovine TB in cattle, was challenged by the Badger Trust in the High Court in June.
The challenge to the ‘legality’ of the decision by Defra secretary Caroline Spelman to allow culling this autumn was on three grounds. These were that: it would not meet the strict legal test of ‘preventing the spread of the disease’, but may in fact increase it; that Defra's cost impact assessment was ‘flawed’ and that Defra did not have the legal power to issue statutory guidance to the licensee, Natural England, to cull badgers.
But all three arguments have been dismissed and, unsurprisingly, a Defra spokesman said the department was ‘pleased’ with the verdict and would work to ensure the pilot culls can now begin ‘as soon as is practical’.
According to a report on the Farmers Guardian website, he said: “We are pleased with the judgement. No one wants to cull badgers but last year bovine TB led to the slaughter of over 26,000 cattle and to help eradicate the disease it needs to be tackled in badgers. We will continue to work with the farming industry so badger control in two pilot areas can start as soon as is practical.” |

"our figures inevitably under-estimate the true scale of rodent problems across the country"
The latest annual survey results confirm our serious concern that Government austerity measures are compromising the country’s ability to keep on top of rodent infestations, even before the full effect of local authority economies has been felt.

It's that time of year again when you start getting phone calls saying "come quick, we've got loads of wasps flying around!", when you know you will be dealing with bees. Given how important these creatures are with regard to crop pollination, you should of course do everything you can to avoid killing them, but sometimes you may have to. If you do decide to go down that route - be very careful. Read more here.
