Protect badgers, foxes and other wildlife by securing garden and sports netting. Learn how unsecured nets cause injuries and what to do if you find an animal trapped.
Netting is unfortunately becoming an increasingly common, and entirely preventable, cause of injury and death for many of our precious wildlife, including badgers and foxes.
According to figures released by the RSPCA the charity received 1,355 reports in 2024 of animals becoming entangled in netting, with almost half occurring during the peak months of May, June and July.
