All the hope of a new Government in the UK...dashed before it's even begun, as incoming DEFRA secretary Steve Reed changes his mind on Badger Culls, potentially resulting in the lives of a further 30,000 more badgers being unnecessarily ended. Sigh. Still, there's hope, with impending legal action & a petition to sign from the Badgers Trust (https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/cull). Rich, Dominic & Ant discuss this and several other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights-related news.
