short-term good news for badgers, but long-term still bleak
The UK government is delaying but not halting plans to kill up to 70% of badgers in some areas.
This and other articles and comments point out that Ireland, which practices badger eradication like the UK, still has bovine TB problems. But Germany, which does not kill huge swathes of its badger population, has no bovine TB problem.
Crazy idea here, but why not vaccinate cattle against TB?
