Badger Bounces Back!

The news (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10612240) that the Court of Appeal have unanimously (3 to 0) rejected the Welsh badger cull intended to reduce the spread of bovine TB in cattle herds is interesting. The judges found that the science did not support the view that the elimination of circa 1500 badgers in Pembrokeshire would reduce the incidence of TB in herds. The farmers, however, still seem convinced (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10626933) that the exercise would benefit them as "all the political parties in Wales, supported the cull". Could they have been after rural votes? This one will run and run.
