Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides the first critical history of the controversy over whether to cull wild badgers to control the spread of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in British cattle. This question has plagued several professional generations of politicians, policymakers, experts and campaigners since the early 1970s. Questions of what is known, who knows, who cares, who to trust and what to do about this complex problem have been the source of scientific, policy, and increasingly vociferous public debate ever since. This book integrates contemporary history, science and technology studies, human-animal relations, and policy research to conduct a cross-cutting analysis. It explores the worldviews of those involved with animal health, disease ecology and badger protection between the 1970s and 1990s, before reintegrating them to investigate the recent public polarisation of the controversy. Finally it asks how we might move beyond the current impasse.
Book Synopsis Thinking Through Badgers by : Stephan Price
Download or read book Thinking Through Badgers written by Stephan Price and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bovine tuberculosis is seriously damaging the UK dairy and beef industry. Many farmers believe culling badgers must be part of the solution, but in 2013 a record 300,000 people signed a Downing Street petition asking the government to stop planned culls of badgers in Somerset and Gloucestershire, fuelling media controversy and signalling the beginning of a social conflict that was acted out in studios, streets, fields and village halls across England. The four-year trial culls, which began that year, aimed to establish that culling was a viable way of tackling the disease, but the widely divergent experiences and values of policy-makers, farming, conservation and animal welfare supporters means that decades of science on the disease in badgers and the effects of culling has not helped resolve the dispute. Reporting on original, UK research council-funded social science, this book takes on the challenge of understanding the contrasting views involved. Listening carefully to what the different protagonists have to say, the book unpicks the way science is interpreted to sustain differing conclusions, and considers how social science thinking could contribute. The book develops a critical perspective on the increasingly important literature influenced by new materialism, the social science response to the Science Wars, and explores the extent to which a social movement around opposition to the culls is emerging. In approachable prose, this access-all-areas account describes the struggle to develop understanding through the messy process of research and the difficulties of scientific analysis and philosophical thought. As such, it provides a valuable resource for both research practitioners and teachers within the social sciences, as well as an accessible way for biological scientists, conservationists and farmers to reflect on the issues around the management of disease in livestock and wildlife.

This book was released on 2008-02-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cattle TB is one of the most serious animal health problems in Great Britain today, with the number of infected cattle doubling every four and a half years, and nearly 20,000 being slaughtered in 2006. The cost of the disease to the taxpayer (£80-100 million a year) and to the farming industry is unsustainable. The introduction of a new system of valuations for slaughtered cattle has proved inequitable in many cases. The final report from the Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB concluded that badger culling could not meaningfully contribute to the future control of cattle TB in Britain. This conclusion was contradicted by Sir David King, the then Government Chief Scientific Adviser (though he had not discussed findings with the ISG). The Committee believes there is no simple solution that will control cattle TB. The Government should adopt a strategy that includes: more frequent cattle testing; the evaluation of post-movement cattle testing; greater communication with farmers on the benefits of biosecurity measures; the deployment of badger and cattle vaccines when they become available in the future; and continued work on the epidemiology of the disease. Under certain well-defined circumstances it is possible that badger culling could make a contribution towards the reduction in incidence of cattle TB in hot spot areas. Any cull should be licensed by English Nature and: be done competently and efficiently; be coordinated; cover as large an area as possible (265km² or more is the minimum needed to be 95% confident of an overall beneficial effect); be sustained for at least four years; and be in areas which have "hard" or "soft" boundaries where possible. Crucial gaps in the knowledge about cattle TB and the way it spreads remain, and more research is needed. Defra needs more funding from the Treasury to pay for the Committee recommendations.

This book was released on 2001-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a follow up to the Fifth Report from the Agriculture Committee, session 1998-99 Badgers and Bovine Tuberculosis HC 233. This report highlights the key issues arising from a meeting with the Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB (ISG) and Baroness Hayman of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF). Following the recommendation of the Krebs report, three different badger control methods are being compared, including pro-active culling, reactive culling following the discovery of bovine TB in herds, and surveys. Whilst the timetable for these trials has slipped, a delay described as regrettable in the report, the Committee reiterates its support for the trial as the only feasible way of obtaining the information essential to establishing the relationship between bovine TB in cattle and badgers and whether culling is a viable policy option, and reaffirms its belief that it is in the wider interests of the farming community, as well as in the long-term interests of conservation and animal welfare organisations, to co-operate fully with the trial. The report urges MAFF to consider the possible policy options once the results of the trial are known as a period of contemplation, following the delays in the trial, would be wholly unacceptable. It is possible that the trial period may have to extend beyond its current scope or end date in order to obtain clear results. It is emphasised that it is the responsibility of MAFF, not of the ISG, to make the ultimate decisions.

Book Synopsis Bovine Tuberculosis and the Culling of Badgers by : David Hill
Download or read book Bovine Tuberculosis and the Culling of Badgers written by David Hill and published by Callisto Reference. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bovine tuberculosis is an infectious disease that affects cattle such as cows, bulls, oxen, calves, buffaloes, and some other farm animals. It is caused by a bacterial species named Mycobacterium bovis (M.bovis). This disease can also be transmitted to mammals including humans, cats, dogs and badgers. In the initial stages of infection, usually there are no visible signs and symptoms. Some common signs of bovine tuberculosis that develop with the gradual progression of disease include weight loss, lack of appetite, weakness, and a low-grade fever. Bovine tuberculosis can also spread from a badger's den called sett through excretions and exhalations of the infected animal. Badger culling is a method adopted to reduce the transmission of bovine tuberculosis. In this method, badgers are slaughtered to reduce the incidence and spread of this infection. This book analyzes the impact of badger culling on the spread of bovine tuberculosis in detail. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language, and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.

Download or read book Badgers and Bovine Tb written by Food and Rural Environment Staff and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines a number of issues regarding the incidence of bovine tuberculosis in cattle, including: recent developments in the Government's TB control strategy, the impact of the disease on the farming industry, scientific research relating to the spread of the disease by badgers (particularly the Krebs review) and the progress being made on the development of a vaccine. Conclusions drawn include: that DEFRA should take time before implementing its control strategy in order to identify possible lessons from past responses to animal disease outbreaks; and that the farming industry should develop proposals for improved husbandry methods which will need to be adequately financed by the government. Better dissemination of good husbandry practice amongst farmers is also required to help counter the spread of the disease. The clearing of the backlog of tests is the priority for the time-being. The Committee supports the Government's decision not to sanction badger culling outside trial areas until full results are known.
Download or read book Badgered to Death written by Dominic Dyer and published by Canbury Press. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dominic Dyer exposes the cruelty and cynicism behind Britain's most controversial wildlife policy and exonerates badgers for rising levels of TB in cattle, in a fast-paced and accessible narrative. Introduction by the BBC TV presenter Chris Packham. REVIEWS 'A thriller, whodunnit and impassioned polemic, this is the inside story of the badger cull. 'A vital must-read for anyone concerned about the badger's enduring place in the British countryside.' Patrick Barkham, nature writer for The Guardian. It should be read by all those battling against government policies that put money ahead of science and the environment. Our natural world is too important to be over-ridden in this way. Dyer... pays tribute to the 'Badger Army', those many individuals from all walks of life who turned out to protest and importantly, once culling started, to protect the badgers out in the field. Badgered to Death is for them because it tells them just why they must keep fighting the culls. It will convince any reader how very wrong and ineffective the culls will prove to be. Lesley Docksey, The Ecologist I enjoyed reading this book and I strongly recommend it to you. If you sign up to the main message of the book, that these culls are a waste of money, a waste of Badgers and at best a partial and inefficient way to reduce bovine TB then you will be hopping mad right now and reading this book won't calm you down, it will energise you.
