The badger is currently in real and imminent danger of a cull intended to prevent the transmission of bovine TB, but which all the scientific evidence indicates will fail to address TB in cattle and may in fact make the situation worse as badger populations disperse. A far more sustainable solution is in the development of oral vaccines and the wider use of injectable vaccines, better bio-security around farms and changes to EU legislation to enable the vaccination of cattle. Decimating the badger population will barely touch the TB in cattle problem (estimates are of a 16% reduction in bovine TB as the result of destroying 70% of the badger population).<\/p>\n<p>Please
