'A must read for all wildlife lovers' Dominic Dyer Foxes, buzzards,
crows, badgers, weasels, seals, kites - Britain and Ireland's
predators are impressive and diverse and they capture our
collective imagination. But many consider them to our competition,
even our enemies. The problem is that predators eat what we farm or
use for sport. From foxes and ravens attacking new-born lambs to
weasels eating game-bird chicks, predators compete with us, putting
them directly into the firing line. Farming, fishing, sport and
leisure industries want to see numbers of predators reduced, and
conservation organisations also worry that predators are
threatening some endangered species. Other people, though, will go
to great lengths to protect them from any harm. This clashing of
worlds can be intense. So, what do we do? One of the greatest
challenges facing conservation today is how, when and where to
control predators. It is a highly charged debate. Mary Colwell
travels across the UK and Ireland to encounter the predators face
to face. She watches their lives in the wild and discovers how they
fit into the landscape. She talks to the scientists studying them
and the wildlife lovers who want to protect them. She also meets
the people who want to control them to protect their livelihoods or
sporting interests. In this even-handed exploration of the issues,
Mary provides a thoughtful and reasoned analysis of the debates
surrounding our bittersweet relationship with predators.
