In Ireland, there are reports that badgers are being dragged from their setts for the cruel blood sport of baiting, according to a report in the Irish Independent.
Scientists tracking badgers via GPS are reported to be concerned animals are being kidnapped for blood sports after a badger they were studying was discovered dead dozens of kilometres away from its sett.
To add weight to the scientist's concerns, the Department of Agriculture have photographic evidence of a masked man attempting to capture a badger from a sett.
Badger-baiting has been illegal in Ireland for almost 200 years - there are now concerns there has been a resurgence.
Badgers do not deserve to die in such a cruel way to satisfy unkind humans! Will you join me in urging the Irish Government in cracking down on badger baiting?
