A High Court bid to halt this year's badger culling, which will take place without independent monitoring, has failed.
The Badger Trust argued the "controlled shooting" in Gloucestershire and Somerset should only take place with independent observers overseeing it.
Defra lawyers said the monitoring was only intended to run in the first year.
Dominic Dyer, of The Badger Trust, said the group was "considering its options" following the ruling.
Mr Dyer called on Environment Secretary Liz Truss to halt the culls or reinstate monitoring.
He added the High Court ruling "does not detract from the serious public concerns over the continuation of the cull".
