Badger culls to be banned after 2022.

[Catherine]

The UK has been culling badgers for years to stop Bovine TB.  Since 2013 over 100,000 badgers have been killed. It is not clear that this has in any way stopped the spread of Bovine TB.  In the future the focus will be on vaccinating against TB.  
Of course existing permits have to run the four years they are issued for. Permits issued in 2022  will carry on past 2022.
So badger culling has been banned, but the culls can go on until 2025.

The vaccine programs have started and can be expanded. The intention is to stop the mass culling of Badgers anyhow. Why wait until 2022. 
If you plan to end something and ending it is a good thing, what not do it now? Why continue to kill badgers when you know it isn't really helping and you plan to stop solon anyhow.
At least the end of the cull is in sight.
