More doubts about the scientific validity of the badger cull.

A really interesting University of Zurich research article [preprint] posted yesterday concludes "there is strong evidence a controversial, expensive and disruptive programme of badger culling in England since 2013 has an inadequate and unsound scientific basis".

Also "The present proactive cull in the HRA of England is not reproducing the reported results of the RBCT. This is likely to be due to overfitting of data in the 2006 paper resulting in it having a poor predictive value".
