Abstract

This report investigates farmer attitudes towards the prospect of vaccinating badgers. It forms part of a larger social research project to examine farmers’ current and future willingness to vaccinate, or facilitate the vaccination of, cattle and badgers on their farms. Participatory workshops were carried out with farmers across England, within a range of bTB risk areas in which participants discussed four badger vaccination scenarios (Government-led approach to badger vaccination, Science-led approach to badger vaccination, Vaccinating in badger cull areas, Combined cattle and badger vaccination). All four scenarios were unpopular amongst farmers, though the science-led approach with a scientific trial was the least unappealing.
