:00:35. > :00:37.And earlier, Clinton Rogers went to meet them.
:00:38. > :00:41.Now, the exact start date of the new badger cull both here in Solerset
:00:42. > :00:43.and in Gloucestershire is bding kept a closely guarded secret.
:00:44. > :00:46.But as you can see behind md, the opponents of the cull h`ve
:00:47. > :00:49.already started setting up base camp amid strong rumours that
:00:50. > :00:52.the shooters will be starting their work in the next day or two.
:00:53. > :00:55.Joining me now is Jay Tiern`n, who's one of the protest group le`ders.
:00:56. > :00:58.Mr Tiernan, you didn't stop it last year, is that not in some w`ys
:00:59. > :01:03.Last year there was a target to kill at least 2,200
:01:04. > :01:06.badgers and at the end of six weeks they had killed 89 .
:01:07. > :01:07.A huge difference between 2,200 and 890.
:01:08. > :01:12.They are back and they have reduced their target massively, down to 316.
:01:13. > :01:15.How much effect we'll have on them I don't know, but we'll certahnly not
:01:16. > :01:20.Absolutely, if we can see them we will go
:01:21. > :01:23.Just our presence alone is enough to make
:01:24. > :01:26.them break their rifles and that stops them shooting the badgers
:01:27. > :01:29.Of course, not everyone is opposed to the cull.
:01:30. > :01:31.The National Farmers' Union insists it is an important weapon
:01:32. > :01:37.Earlier I spoke to Ian Johnson, the Regional Communications Manager
:01:38. > :01:43.Last year you had over 400 outbreaks across Somerset and Gloucestershire
:01:44. > :01:49.and nearly 5,000 cattle slatghtered in those two counties alone.
:01:50. > :01:55.What is different this year is the target
:01:56. > :02:00.for the minimum number of b`dgers to be culled, smaller than last year.
:02:01. > :02:02.In Somerset it is 316. In Gloucester, 615.

:05:13. > :05:15.the weekend for most parts of the United Kingdom, the main exception
:05:16. > :05:18.was the North East of Scotland where it was cold, wet and windy. The low
