How does it work?

• Set traps for badgers with bait
• Check next morning
• Test for bTB infection
  • If yes, euthanize
  • If no, release (can also vaccinate prior to releasing)

Pros?

• Since 6/7 badgers are not infected with bTB, this prevents indiscriminate culling of badgers
• Prevents maiming that may occur accidentally during free shooting culls

Cons?

• Badgers can sustain minor injuries while trapped in a cage, including dental injuries when trying to escape
• Labour-intensive as would have to set traps and check every morning for badgers
