Carrie Symonds does sound like she would be a positive influence on her partner. I hope she is able to keep up the influence for the well being of animals.
She could well be behind any number of animal friendly policies. Choosing to end the badger cull is definitely a good thing. Of course actually ending it would be even better.
The decision to cull badgers was probably more political than scientific in the first place. The cull made it look like something was being done to help with the bovine TB problem. It was a publicly visible action. The government could say they were doing something. It wasn't the right thing to do, but it would have brought in votes. The decision to end the cull is based on evidence and study of the situation. I hope the animal friendly influence continues.
