Demonstrators wearing badger costumes dancing in front of the Houses of Parliament yesterday in protest at the government-approved cull of the animals to halt the spread of bovine tuberculosis.

It was reported yesterday that a last-minute legal challenge has been lodged by the Badger Trust, amid rumours of the cull being delayed for a year.
