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.
