Badger baiting needs strong PSNI unit, says USPCA

Date of alert:

Tuesday 7 March 2023

Crime Ref:

Force:

National

An enhanced police wildlife crime unit is needed to tackle badger baiting and the organised crime groups behind it, a report by an animal charity has found.

The USPCA said the seizure of devices should be a priority when investigating the offence.

It has also called for a ban on hunting wild animals with dogs, as Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK not to have such legislation.

Badgers are a protected species and badger baiting is an illegal activity.
