“…Eventually industry pressure resulted in the reversal of these regulatory changes allowing these antibiotics to be once more purchased by farmers for growth promotion without veterinary oversight. Eventually, as public health experts first began to articulate the threats posed by AMR in the mid-late 1990s, the EU phased out all The concept of framing has been utilised in a variety of disciplinary contexts and recently has been mobilised in the analysis of both US and UK agri-food policy specifically as this relates to food security (Mooney andHunt 2009, Kirwan andMaye 2013) and analysis of the BSE crisis (Demko 1998, Miller 1999, Washer 2006 and the particular modes of action required to address it. In turn, different social groups are likely to adopt different ways of framing reality, which may lead to deep-seated differences in views about how the problem at stake is to be governed.…”

Common to all frames is that the relationship between agricultural use of antibiotics and problems posed by AMR is mostly discussed in terms of the implications for human health as opposed to both human and animal health.

“…Under these circumstances, any BSE risks associated with trades, not inherent to a given country, are easily conceived as those which are man-made, (otherwise) controllable, and introduced by the mismanagement of risks on either side or both sides of trading partners; consequently, they are likely to incur public outrage (Sandman, 1993), as exemplified by the UK, French, and German cases in which the national governments and their policies were vehemently blamed when the media regarded the BSE risks to be the result of human mismanagement (Feindt & Kleinschmit, 2011;Goffman, 1974;Washer, 2005). In Japan, politicians and bureaucrats were wary of this failure.…”

Mass media can affect how people understand and react to particular health risks. Reporting of health risks during the international trade disputes, resulting from the difference in safety regulations, therefore can play a pivotal role in resolving them. This study compared the newspaper reports on BSE-related events in major national dailies between Japan and the US around the period when BSE-infected cattle were discovered in the US and the import of US beef products was banned (between December 2002 and November 2006). During the study period, the number of BSE-related newspaper articles increased in both the US and Japan, but the visibility of the issue was more prominent and persistent in Japan than in the US. Geographically, most of the articles had a domestic focus, but they also reported the news of each trade partner. After the discovery of BSE cattle in the US, articles of commerce and trade issues were dominant in Japan, while the incidence of BSE, agriculture, and trade dominated in the US. Overall, the US-based newspapers carried more advocacy articles than the Japanese ones. In Japan, calls for stronger domestic policy decreased, but those for stronger foreign policy increased slightly. Meanwhile, in the US, calls for a stronger domestic policy increased slightly whereas those for weaker foreign policy dropped-both only temporarily. The major rationale for policy advocacy was the economy and health in both Japan and the US. However, the balance of competing policy objectives and the rational acceptance of BSE risks were argued more in the US papers than in the Japanese ones. In conclusion, during the BSE-related dispute on health and trade, the visibility and faces of the issues in newspapers differed between Japan and the US. Acceptance of BSE-related risks was argued differently, and those differences reflected and affected the public's perception of BSE issues, the related safety policies by the governments, and the configuration of social interests in each country. The differ-* Corresponding author.H. Sato, R. G. Campbell 21 ences evident in the media could serve as a vehicle for reappraising the existing policies as well as the possible international harmonization of risk management policies.

“…En ce sens, le cas de la vache folle, auquel les médias ont assuré un important retentissement, a été exemplaire. Cette crise questionnait les excès de la technique et de la rationalisation dans l'élevage, cette maladie apparaissant notamment comme une conséquence méritée : « Ce qui advient est à prendre comme un châ-timent qui viendrait sanctionner des erreurs humaines » (Dubied et Marion, 1997 : 121 ;voir aussi Adam, 2000 ;Burton-Jeangros, 2002 ;Washer, 2006). Ici, l'invisibilité qui affecte habituellement les animaux de rente n'a plus joué, bien au contraire.…”

RésuméAlors que l’ordre humain et l’ordre animal ont longtemps été considérés comme distincts, les connaissances scientifiques et les pratiques sociales actuelles incitent à penser que la frontière entre ces deux ordres ne va plus de soi. Cependant, si l’interrogation sur l’interpénétration du naturel et du social n’est pas nouvelle, l’enjeu reste d’importance puisqu’il s’agit d’établir la part de l’un et de l’autre, et finalement la place de l’humain dans son propre univers. Nous analysons d’abord ces enjeux à travers le passage de rapports anthropocentriques à des relations aux animaux plus zoocentriques, tout en montrant comment cette nouvelle proximité est mise en péril par la prise de conscience de différents risques associant humains et animaux. La variabilité de la frontière est ensuite abordée dans la pluralité des rapports anthropozoologiques. Finalement, nous évoquons les questions actuellement soulevées dans différentes sphères de la société humaine autour de la place à accorder ou de la distance à maintenir avec les animaux.
