Lots of Badger news today, as the UK government announced it was going to delay the proposed Badger cull until next summer. Why? Because apparently they want to 'get it right'.
So not because, with twice as many badgers in the proposed cull areas, even the farmers agree they can't afford it and are having to be persuaded not to pull out?
Not because 30 of the most eminent animal disease scientists, including the Government's own chief scientist, think the proposed cull is 'mindless' and a 'costly distraction' from the real problems of bovine TB (namely animal husbandry).
And not because it's an outrageously unpopular policy decision with the public?
What was all that craven nonsense about being 'the greenest government ever'?...
