Pembrokeshire badger cull halted after appeal

Controversial Welsh Assembly Government plans for a cull of around 1,500 badgers in Pembrokeshire, where badgers were to be trapped in cages and shot, have been halted after The Badger Trust won their legal challenge to stop it.

The Welsh Assembly Government have said they are “disappointed” with the Court of Appeal’s judgement.
