The Guardian, Friday 29 November 2013
The controversial badger cull in Gloucestershire is being abandoned after marksmen failed to kill enough animals to meet even drastically reduced targets, the Guardian revealed on Friday.
The collapse of the culling trial represents a humiliation for the government’s policy as it means every target set has now been missed.
Natural England (NE) will revoke the culling licence and the cull will end at noon on Saturday, three weeks earlier than planned. The cull, intended to help curb tuberculosis in cattle, was initially tasked with killing 70% of all badgers in the area in a maximum of six weeks.

“The collapse of the culling trial represents a humiliation for the government’s policy ”
Actually, the design and start of the culling trial represented a total failure of any sane government policy for dealing with disease in domestic livestock.
Thank fuck, at least for now.
