I also look at the numbers of badgers killed since 2012 in England because of bovine TB with Badger Trust saying: 'It doesn’t work in bTB control – it never has.'
They have raised serious concerns the protected species is becoming locally extinct in some areas of the UK

Killing over half the wild population of badgers when they are not the primary cause of disease in the cattle herd is a scandal and an ecological disaster.

It’s time we demand our policymakers protect nature, not attack it > buff.ly/3T4QsnT
