Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre founder speaks out on badger culling decision The founder of Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre near Burnham-On-Sea says “there is nothing to be pleased about” following the Government’s decision that there will be no new badger culling areas from 2022. New mass badger cull licences are to be stopped after 2022 under plans to phase out culling of the wild animals. The environment secretary George Eustice has launched a consultation on the next phase of the government’s strategy to eradicate bovine TB (bTB) in England by 2038. The drive will instead focus on vaccinating badgers and cattle.
