DEBATE: Is the coalition government's proposal for a 'science-led programme of badger control' an effective way to reduce tuberculosis in cattle? - a ZSL Science and Conservation Event.
Cattle TB is a significant problem for the farming industry in Britain and badgers are a known source of infection. For 30 years badgers were culled in an attempt to control cattle TB, but this controversial practice was stopped after independent scientists advised the previous government that culling ‘could not meaningfully contribute to the control of cattle TB’. However, the new coalition government has pledged a ‘science-led policy of badger control’. At this event, to take place during a public consultation on the issue, scientists will debate the evidence for and against badger culling as an effective means to control cattle TB.
This event in the 'Communicating Science' series will begin at 6.00pm (doors from 5.00pm) and talks are scheduled to finish at 7.30pm; admission is free and open to everyone (no advance booking or registration required). This event will be held in the ZSL Meeting Rooms and seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis. A dinner with the speakers will follow this event and places must be booked in advance. A dinner booking form will be provided from the ZSL website shortly; please download for further information.
ZSL Science and Conservation Events: An essential part of ZSL's work is to communicate relevant, high-quality zoological and conservation science. The integrated ZSL Science and Conservation Events programme includes Symposia, and the new 'Wildlife Conservation' and 'Communicating Science' series. Topics cover a wide variety of zoological and conservation themes, and international experts present and discuss their research
