Wrong. It was passed by a full plenary of the Senedd. Elin has one vote out of 60.

I hope so. The MPs/candidates who have been supportive of the cull are set to win more votes, if opinion polls are anything to go by. One of the major 'environmental issues' is support for more eco-friendly forms of agriculture, this does involve a cull of badgers, in the same way some would argue a wind turbine ruins the landscape.
