New badger cull licenses issued, on-farm slaughter

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, New badger cull licenses issued, on-farm slaughter

Defra extends the badger cull and grants 11 new licenses for four years.

Anna Hill with the latest news about food, farming and the countryside, as Defra extends the badger cull and grants 11 new licenses.

DEFRA extends the badger cull and grants 11 new licenses for four years. We ask why that's happening when scientists say it isn't clear whether the cull has caused bovine TB cases to fall.
And as part of our week looking at the slaughter industry, we visit a small on-farm abattoir.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
