"Leading scientists and wildlife experts including Jane Goodall and Virginia McKenna have issued a direct plea to Boris Johnson to cancel this month’s planned badger cull expansion.
A former government deputy chief vet and former government adviser on culling are also among those urging the prime minister to intervene.
In a letter sent today, seen by The Independent, the 23 lobbyists remind Mr Johnson of a government promise earlier this year to phase out intensive culling and instead move to badger vaccination.
