2 December 2013 Last updated at 06:17 ET The pilot cull of badgers in west Gloucestershire has failed to meet the 70% target set by the government, official figures show. In the additional five weeks and three days of culling, 213 badgers were killed, giving an overall total of 921. Rural affairs minister Owen Patterson criticised "a small minority who resorted to widespread criminality" in an attempt to stop the cull. A similar cull pilot in Somerset ended last month after it also failed to meet its target even after a three-week extension.
