The South Dorset MP wants animals like foxes and deer to be culled

More wild animals should be culled to control their numbers, according to a Conservative MP.

Richard Drax, MP for South Dorset, has dismissed calls by conservation groups to end the badger cull, which aims to curb bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cows.

Speaking at a debate on farming in the House of Commons, he instead suggested more animals, such as deer and foxes, should also be culled as they have no natural predators in the UK.

The government refused to comment.
