Now, maybe they are dragging on this because it's cheaper to kill Badgers, and because they simply don't care enough? Possibly....
At the moment, DEFRA is saying that the only way of vaccinating Badgers is by injectable vaccine which would cost apparently, £662 per Badger. And they don't see that as feasible. I am inclined to agree actually. But they need to push development of an oral vaccine more than they are doing, in my opinion.
