Long-term badger cull plan dropped amid legal challenge
Briefly

Rural Affairs Minister Daniel Zeichner has announced that a new wave of badger culling has been scrapped, potentially delaying it until 2038 as part of a policy review.
Despite the abandonment of new culling plans, thousands of badgers will still be killed this autumn due to ongoing efforts to control tuberculosis in cattle.
The government's decision to drop the cull was publicized on the same day as a documentary highlighting successful TB control through better farming hygiene rather than culling.
Sir Brian May emphasized that the findings from the documentary could transform farming practices, while farmers expressed concerns over the feasibility of implementing these changes universally.
