'Immoral': groups fight National Trust's wild boar cull

Animal activists say Stourhead cull is misguided, with only one recent boar injury in the UK

Six animal rights groups have strongly criticised plans by the National Trust to cull wild boar on one of its most renowned estates as "misguided and immoral".

The groups, which include Animal Aid and Born Free, have written to the chair of the National Trust, Tim Parker, asking him to halt the cull at Stourhead in Wiltshire.
