The massacre of the badger has begun
BBC - A
badger cull in Gloucestershire is believed to have begun - a week after the first
stage of the government pilot started in Somerset.
About 5,000
badgers are expected to be killed in controlled shootings over six weeks in a
bid to curb bovine TB. Anti-cull
protesters have vowed to disrupt the shootings. More than 100 campaigners gathered
in Gloucestershire, with observers monitoring the cull zone for signs of
shooting.
