| Description | |
The badger is the last truly wild large
mammal left in the British countryside and this book provides an excellent
account of its plight. Whilst the badger remains as a protected species, it
continues to be persecuted by man - either by badger baiters or by the Ministry
of Agriculture (MAFF).
Richard Meyer carefully examines the incomplete evidence on which the
badger-killing programme has been based. He does so in an objective manner,
looking both at the defence of the badger and the need to protect the
interests of farmers. This very fair-minded approach allows the reader to
form their own conclusions. |
| Summary |
|
A superb technical book, which should be
made compulsory reading by politicians and policy makers. |
