Britain’s badger cull to proceed on Sunday after a vote in favour of ending the scheme
Britain’s badger cull to proceed on Sunday after a vote in favour of ending the scheme
The government backed off its plans for the cull of badgers after a long campaign against it.
The government said it was “not prepared to enter into a new phase” of the cull, whic바카라h has been running since 2014.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) had asked the Welsh government to accept an offer from the UK to kill more badgers, which it will kill to eradicate their population of around 800,000.
Cymru party leader Carwyn Jones, who is expected to give his backing to the proposal, called it an “insufficient, unpopular and divisive proposal”.
There is already debate about the benefits of culling badgers, but it will be on a smaller scale, while taking a much longer time to kill than killing sheep and cows.
Badger populations are considered one of Europe’s most pressing problems but they are seen by the Welsh government as one of its most pressing priorities.
At a Cabinet meeting, Mr Jones said it was still unlikely that a government would come to an agreement to continue culling a wild population of badgers.
He also insisted the government would do everything possible to stop Badger Free Wales and Welsh Badger Protection Units (WBPUs) being formed in Wales to cull badgers.
“The prime minister has indicated that he wants to allow the Welsh government to do this, but obviously it is not for her to tell Wales what to do,” he added.
‘Wider and more effective’
The proposals, which the government said would save farmers more than £20m, hav바카라e been met with heavy resistance from farmers and badger farmers.
On Thursday, Badger Free Wales was called for a vote at the assembly to discuss whether to ban the cull.

In a statement, the chief executive of Badger Free Wales, Sir William Turner, said the government should make sure it didn’t try to “further expand the progra우리카지노mme”.
He said: “Widespread public concern about the welfare implications of the government’s plans – including that of the good badger cull – will make it highly likely that the Welsh government will not come to an agreement to support such a scheme.”
