TB in Cattle

A badger culling trial to tackle TB in cattle is announced in England, while a proposed cull in Wales has been abandoned. Nick Ravenscroft reports the effect of policy paralysis.

The Coalition says it is committed to a 'science led' approach to tackling tb in cattle, but as a new badger culling trial is announced in England and the proposed cull in Wales is abandoned by the new Welsh Government, Nick Ravenscroft assesses the impact - on cattle and badgers - of what some describe as a decade of indecision.

Producer: Gail Champion.
