Government and the Management of an Alien Pest Species: A British perspective
Whilst pest control was deemed the responsibility of individual occupiers of land and buildings, Agriculture Ministers acknowledged an obligation to help secure the co-operative action required to meet that goal. The manner in which such support might be given is illustrated. By way of introduction, the attempts made to regulate rabbit and grey squirrel numbers, and the success of scientists and policy makers in exterminating a further non-native herbivore, the muskrat, in the 1930s, are briefly outlined. Even more remarkably, the Ministry of Agriculture succeeded in eradicating the considerably larger and more widely dispersed coypu population some 50 years later. The paper explores how and why such Government intervention came about, with so little public concern shown for the coypu itself.
