Culls will now take place in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire and the former county of Avon under the licences from Natural England.

Campaigners in Devon have released distressing images of a badger caught in a trap, as part of the national cull to combat Bovine TB.

The Government has announced that the badger cull is to take place in 11 new areas of England including Wiltshire.
