So... after a few years of argument as to whether killing badgers will save the cows, the court of appeal has ruled against the Welsh Assembly Government testing the idea out. They don't seem to have claimed that Badgers don't transfer bovine TP to cattle; rather, they have decided that the evidence that a cull would help isn't substantial enough to justify it going ahead. This keeps the option for the WAG to make another attempt next year open, but it seems unlikely that it will get through the courts the next time around. Despite the chance of a cull going ahead in the future, today's result is a good one.
