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.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.
"Horrific injuries to jaws and teeth will often go untreated as perpetrators fear their involvement in this activity will be discovered, resulting in unnecessary suffering and cruelty," said vet David Martin. The latest figures from the Police Service of Northern Ireland show there were 86 potential badger persecution offences reported in the three years from 2019 and 2021.
