About the Book

Dominic Dyer, chief executive of the Badger Trust, picks apart the science and politics behind the badger cull. He exposes the cruelty and cynicism central to Britain's most controversial wildlife policy and clears badgers of blame for rising levels of TB in cattle. He shines an unflattering light on the unhealthy close relationship between the National Farmers Union and the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). He also criticises the BBC, the veterinary profession, and environmental NGOs such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. Foreword by BBC Springwatch presenter Chris Packham.

About the Author :
Dominic Dyer is a wildlife protection campaigner, writer and broadcaster. He left school at 16 and joined the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food, where he worked on issues ranging from marine environment protection to organic agriculture. In 2000 he left the public sector for the Food and Drink Federation, where he became an expert on the environment and healthy eating trends. In 2008 he was made chief executive of the Crop Protection Association, the trade body for the UK plant science industry. In 2012 he abandoned his career as a food lobbyist and became a full-time wildlife protection campaigner with Care for the Wild. Today he is policy advisor for the Born Free Foundation and chief executive of the Badger Trust.

Review :
"A thriller, whodunnit and impassioned polemic - this is the inside story of the badger cull; Dominic Dyer is a champion for wildlife and he exposes the toxic brew of industrial farming, commercial lobbying and political ambition that is driving the slaughter of the badger; A vital must-read for anyone concerned about the badger's enduring place in the British countryside.";Patrick Barkham, nature writer for The Guardian author of Badgerlands.
