Is badger crime really stopping in our area?
Recently, we’ve seen a significant drop in badger crime reports coming in. While we’d love to think this means badger crime has ended in our area (imagine that!), the reality is that offences are simply not being reported.
Reporting badger crime is crucial.
Without your reports, we have no data to demonstrate where badger persecution is happening or how serious the problem remains. This data feeds into national statistics and determines how much priority and resource badger crime receives from police.
Please RECOGNISE, RECORD & REPORT every suspected crime to us here (after reporting to the police). Your reports enable the Badger Trust to:
- Offer tailored advice and support
- Hold police forces accountable
- Follow up progress to ensure badgers get the protection they deserve.
Let’s make sure we don’t let badgers down by staying silent or keeping the information to ourselves.
