Caroline Spelman faces a lose-lose decision over badger cull
TELEGRAPH
4 July 2011
By Geoffrey Lean - Politics
A badger cull has divided opinion
I never thought I would say this, but I feel much sympathy for Caroline Spelman, the accident-prone Environment Secretary. Fresh from the horrendous Horlicks she made of flogging off England’s forests, she faces an imminent decision on a far trickier, and even more emotional issue – whether to authorise Mr Badger’s execution for infecting cattle with tuberculosis.
She has, it should be said, learned lessons from the forest fiasco, and is approaching whether to take on the gruff Wind in the Willows father figure with due deliberation. Justifiably accused of not fully consulting affected groups over her privatisation plans, she has this time met with more than 20, ranging from the National Farmers’ Union to the Badger Trust, and convened top-level scientific meetings.
