Culling badgers
Nfu President, Peter Kendall, has had words with Liberal Democrat MP, Andrew George over the proposed Badger cull in the UK.
The Lib Dems do not fully support the cull due to the lack of scientific fact and that it could not, practically be implemented.
He would accept culling on a smaller scale, if backed by science but wanted greater emphasis on alternatives such as vaccination and tighter cattle controls.
Mr kendall was seeking assurances that Mr George was pushing for the pilots to proceed, wanting these to be undertaken next year if they show that they are humane and effective.
