Commenting on the resignations of the heads of the three regional Bovine TB eradication boards – following the WG’s badger cull postponement – Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs, Antoinette Sandbach AM, said:
“The decision of the board heads to quit in this manner is a damning indictment of the way this postponement has been handled.
“That all three chairmen claim they have been misled and by-passed is of very grave concern.
“How can we have confidence in the way the Environment Minister is managing this dire situation, when it appears he has failed to engage with these boards?
“I am shocked and astounded by all aspects of the way that the badger cull has been shelved, and farmers across Wales will be justifiably worried.”
