RSPCA statement on badger trust appeal

"We are delighted to hear about the concessions made by the Welsh ministers regarding the proposed cull in Wales. We always had concerns that as the legislation stood, the WAG had the ability to apply the cull to the whole of Wales and not just the cull area.

"The RSPCA has always been firmly opposed to this cull.

"This is a timely reminder about the importance of meticulous attention to detail before any culling regime is considered."
