Areas of badger cull trials revealed

The areas where badger cull trials will be held have been revealed, although the exact locations are being kept secret. 

Experts are worried that the exact location of the trials could attract protestors and cause a security threat. The culls are due to start in August in Gloucestershire and Somerset and will last six weeks. They are an attempt to stop the spread of TB, a disease that kills cattle.

    But it's not the badgers!It's the poor conditions the cattle are kept in, not the badgers! The badgers have done nothing wrong, so my question... why? It's just a cruel and pointless exercise on the governments part, which should be stopped...
