It worked in the past and I’m sure would work again. Carbon monoxide or dioxide could be used.

Liz Wellington and her PCR test ?
Our vet told us he believed gassing sets was a far better solution.
I think if it could be allied to a tb test for the badger latrines, then taking out all positive sets via gassing would be best. I don't know if that is possible. I remember reading somewhere that there was a study to find if a latrine was tb positive, but the researcher said she didn't want it to be used to condemn badgers (I can't remember where I read that).

There is a very cosy relationship with certain 'scientists', researchers and universities - and in that group think, I include APHA civil servants. They do not want to cull badgers. End of. So, reluctantly, throw a bone to farmers (which they did) and the authorities are at arms length from any backlash.
I hold most of this bunch in absolute contempt.
