I'm a TB researcher and I've followed the bovine TB story in the UK and in New Zealand off and on..(I have colleagues in both places who work on bovine TB). In New Zealand, the culprit is the possum and there isn't the backlash there against possum culls like one sees in the UK with badger culls. I've been told that it's because people in the UK have an affection for the badger. Is this particularly true?
