1999年，进行了一项问卷调查，以评估公众对扑杀獾以控制牛结核病的偏好。考虑了三种替代处理：（1）广泛淘汰，（2）当前的实验性试验，（3）不淘汰。来自格拉斯顿伯里和约克的100名居民接受了面对面的采访，并被要求对三种治疗方法中的每一种进行偏好评级。单一最优选的处理是不剔除，最不优选的是广泛剔除。赞成大范围扑杀或实验性试验的受访者往往对这个问题更了解，并将牛的结核病水平作为指导他们偏好的主要因素。赞成不扑杀选项的受访者往往知识较少，并认为保护和福利对獾种群的影响是最重要的因素。偏好分数的分布分析表明，虽然它不一定是最首选的治疗，实验性试验可能是一个相对可接受的替代方案。
In 1999, a questionnaire survey was conducded to evaluate public preferences towards badger culling to control bovine tuberculosis in cattle. Three alternative treatments were considered: (1) widespread culling, (2) the current experimental trials, and (3) no culling. One hundred residents from Glastonbury and York were interviewed in person and asked to give preference ratings to each of the three treatments. The single most preferred treatment was no culling, and the least preferred was the widespread cull. Respondents who favoured either the widespread cull or the experimental trials tended to be more knowledgeable about the problem and cited the level of tuberculosis in cattle as the primary fador guiding their preferences. Respondents who favoured the no culling option tended to be less knowledgeable, and cited the conservation and welfare impacts on badger populations as the most important factors. Analysis of the distribution of preference scores suggested that although it was not necessarily the most preferred treatment the experimental trial may be a relatively acceptable alternative.
