The Environment Secretary's
announcement about the postponement of the badger cull has been welcomed
by the RSPB.
Martin Harper is the Society's
conservation director. He said: “These culls have proved to be extremely
divisive. The science suggests that culling will not deliver the solution to
this serious and urgent problem. This announcement suggests that farmers and
badgers will be in exactly the same situation next summer.
"This window gives Owen Paterson an
opportunity to lead the Government out of this muddle by embracing a
vaccination programme, giving a lifeline to livestock farmers
and badgers.”
