It is both a useful and original contribution, specifically to the history of zoonotic disease policy, and policy history more generally.? ?Helen Bynum, Author of Spitting Blood: The History of Tuberculosis (2012) 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. 606 $aBadgers$xControl$zGreat Britain 606 $aTuberculosis in cattle$zGreat Britain 606 $aTuberculosis in cattle$zGreat Britain$xPrevention 610 $aHistory 610 $aGreat Britain?History 610 $aMedicine?History 610 $aAnimal welfare 610 $aEnvironmental policy 610 $aHistory, Modern 610 $aMedical geography 615 0$aBadgers$xControl 615 0$aTuberculosis in cattle 615 0$aTuberculosis in cattle$xPrevention. 676 $a941 676 $a636.208945420941 700 $aCassidy$b Angela$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0918739 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372740003321 996 $aVermin, Victims and Disease$92229532 997 $aUNINA
