BRITAIN'S government has postponed a plan to cull badgers after protests from animal rights groups and concern over its cost and effectiveness.
Some farmers had pressed for the ban because the creatures can spread bovine tuberculosis, a disease that can devastate herds and hurt farm revenues.
But the black and white burrowers have had high-profile supporters such as Queen guitarist Brian May, who campaigned against the cull that was to take place in the southwest of England.
The project is now to be put back until next year after a survey found almost twice as many badgers as previously thought - which dramatically raised the cost of the plan. Environment Secretary Owen Paterson told MPs on Tuesday the government remains committed to the idea.
