Welsh poet and writer Owen Sheers hears about plans for a badger cull in Pembrokeshire.

The plans to begin culling badgers in an area of Wales have divided the rural community. In a special programme, Welsh poet and author Owen Sheers talks to people in Pembrokeshire about the tensions that are running high among neighbouring landowners, some of whom support the  decision to cull badgers within a trial zone to try and eradicate TB in cattle.

Producer: Maggie Ayre.
