While England and Northern Ireland have a policy of culling badgers to deal with Bovine TB, in Wales for the last four years they've been vaccinating badgers, but as we reported in June, the vaccination has been unavailable since the beginning of 2016 and is unlikely to be available for 2017. Today that all changes, the Welsh government has announced plans for a range of new strategies including the killing of badgers in high risk areas. The Welsh Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths is keen to point out this is not an 'England style cull', but more along the lines of the Northern Irish policy of targeted trapping and killing. This is the film Countryfile broadcast in June, when this was first raised as a possibility.
