Rishi Sunak has committed to maintaining the current badger culling program to combat bovine tuberculosis (bTB) if he wins the next election.
The pledge was not in the Conservative manifesto, but speaking to farmers in North Devon, the prime minister said “culls have to be part of the solution” for tackling bTB.
Before the election, the Conservative government was moving towards targeted culling in high-risk areas after a decade-long program in rural England killed over 210,000 badgers and 330,000 cattle.
Mr Sunak said the Conservatives were “the only party at this election” committed to maintaining the cull.
Labour have committed to looking at new ways to tackle the spread of bTB “so that we can end the ineffective badger cull”.
