I wish them the best of luck with raising money for a vaccine, but feel with the current vaccine needing to be administered annually the cost will be prohibitive

I think the vaccination runs for life but one has to do the new badgers as they pop up.
To my knolage there is only one vaccine currently available; BCG (Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guérin)
According to Defra
Badgers will have to be vaccinated on an annual bases for two reasons, one in order to ensure that you vaccinate as many new cubs as possible when they emerge in late spring each year, and each year there is an approximate 30% rate of population turnover including new the cubs and badger movement. Also as I understand it, there is no suitable way to permanently mark a badger without having to anaesthetise it first, which would greatly increase the disturbance to the badgers and the costs of a vaccination programme. however research has shown that there will be no detrimental effects if a badger is vaccinated on more than one occasion.
Hope that helps

The deer are presumably eaten as food once shot, the shooting is simply the slaughtering process used in this method of farming deer. .
If when the cull starts, this could be the answer then
Looks tasty

Seen similar before Blue about a guy lives almost exclusively on roadkill. Heard the meat absolutely stinks and doesn't taste much better so surprised here, poss the breeding season thing like he says. Can't see it catching on. Down what passes for an A or B road down Devon way which is still the only place I've ever actually seen a live badger yet you're likely to find roadkill badgers still pretty intact ( so long as they are, in fact, actual roadkill! ;) ), not so in West Yorkshire. More a bloody smear round these parts. Might get enough mince for a burger but you're not having fillet steak from it like this dude.

Roadkill mutton is tasty. Takes a while to run one over mind.
Not in a land rover they don't...and space in the back to chuck in a few
I suppose that is one way to tenderise old meat
