Govt: Glos badger cull 'a success'
The Government says the Gloucestershire badger cull extension was successful, despite the cull ending early because not enough badgers were being killed.
Why the badger cull is being abandoned early
The badger cull in Gloucestershire is being called off - three weeks early - after it became clear not enough badgers would be shot.
The pilot scheme was extended by eight weeks, which was meant to run until December 18th. An extension to the trial in Somerset also failed to meet its target.
