“…Auditing systems like those used in fisheries and livestock traceability are non-existent in the underregulated industry of venison production (e.g. Lewis and Boyle 2017;Aharwal et al 2019). Neither are there stringent oversight measures nor guardianship mechanisms in place to ensure compliance with regulation EC 178/2002.…”

The Reality of Rural Crime: The unintended consequences of rural policy in the co-production of badger persecution and the illegal taking of deer

Rural policy has produced the unintended consequences of illegal deer taking and the persecution of badgers in the rural West Country of England. This article directs attention towards the mechanisms of social relations between unregulated industry operatives, rural networks and entrepreneurial premises. Accordingly, the offending process is shown to be one of ‘illicit enterprise’, accomplished for instrumental gain through interdependencies between licit and illicit endeavours—practices that emerge synergistically, upon interaction with wider geo-historical conditions. Crucially, illicit activity is shown to be heavily context dependent, contingencies that generate unanticipated outcomes that are peculiar to the tendencies of the South West. Distal conditions are inserted into the explication to posit the antecedent contexts that inadvertently enable the illegal killing of animals.

“…This is the formalised best practice, if legitimate processes are adhered to when filtering shot deer into the production process and constitute a 'traceability system' for venison meat production. When contrasted with the robust seafood and livestock traceability systems, field experts disparage the model as less than a lip service to an auditing system, due to their failure at cataloguing the origins and route the meat has taken, from gate to plate; from the field to the consumer (Lewis and Boyle, 2017;Aharwal, 2019). Many of the expert respondents interviewed expressed incredulity at the vulnerability of the supply chain process to misconduct.…”

This article provides the first comprehensive criminological account of routinised illicit venison production in rural England. In doing so an epistemological reformulation and conceptual clarification of the overlooked problem is advanced, using extended fieldwork and a novel theoretical framework. The account of offending is refined to a type of illicit rural food enterprise supply chain misconduct, actualised by un-regulated industry processes. This kind of food crime is shown to be reliant upon suspects' connectivity with small to medium food business operations and the routines of rural occupations.Such relations with licit rural-centric commerce are the necessary conditions of offending, which are enabled by the contingent conditions of sub-optimal game meat traceability systems and an absence of regulatory oversight at critical junctures. An outcome that is structurally inscribed into legislation and induces non-compliance. The article addresses the current lacuna of research on venison meat food crimes in the British context and advances an innovative realist social relations theory to explain the crime commissioning process.

“…Global demand for meat has increased significantly, resulting in extensive livestock farming and increased manure generation [1]. A large amount of manure is stockpiled before it is used as fertilizer or temporarily stored before it is transported to livestock waste facilities for energy production and disposal [2][3][4][5][6]. Many farms, owing to a lack of indoor spaces, store livestock manure in open areas where it can leach into stream waters through surface runoff or into groundwater.…”

A comprehensive database of human and livestock fecal microbiome for community-wide microbial source tracking: a case study in South Korea

Fecal waste from livestock farms contains numerous pathogens, and improperly managed waste may flow into water bodies, causing water-borne diseases. Along with the popularization of high-throughput technologies, community-wide microbial source-tracking methods have been actively developed in recent years. This study aimed to construct a comprehensive fecal microbiome database for community-wide microbial source tracking and apply the database to identify contamination sources in the Miho River, South Korea. Total DNA was extracted from the samples, and the 16 S rRNA gene was amplified to characterize the microbial communities. The fecal microbiome database was validated by developing machine-learning models that predict host species based on microbial community structure. All machine learning models developed in this study showed high performance, where the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was approximately 1. Community-wide microbial source tracking results showed a higher contribution of fecal sources to the contamination of the main streams after heavy rain. In contrast, the contribution of fecal sources remained comparatively stable in tributaries after rainfall. Considering that farms are more concentrated upstream of tributaries compared to the main streams, this result implies that the pathway for manure contaminants to reach the main streams could be groundwater rather than surface runoff. Systematic monitoring of the water quality, which encompasses river water and groundwater, should be conducted in the future. In addition, continuous efforts to identify and plug abandoned wells are necessary to prevent further water contamination.
