Badger cull on hold in Wales as Government awaits an independent review
The Welsh Government announced earlier this week that plans for a controversial cull of badgers in north Pembrokeshire would be put on hold whilst Ministers await the outcome of a science review. Professor John Harries, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Welsh Government, will appoint scientists to an independent panel to consider the scientific evidence for a badger cull. The report of the panel is expected in the autumn.
