An initiative to prevent badger baiting in Northern Ireland has received a special commendation at the National Wildlife Crime Prevention Conference.The scheme is led by the Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the NI Badger Group .CCTV cameras are set up and signage put in place to show the areas which have previously been targeted by criminal gangs and these are monitored 24/7.
"A lot of landowners do not want these people trespassing on their land. I mean, they're not only involved in badger digging and baiting, they would also be involved in a lot of other crimes."So the landowners are very happy to for us to work along with them, to set up this project on their land. "They dig setts, they dig holes and then they've spoil heaps, they have their latrines, and you'd find bedding and all sorts of things," said Mr Clarke.
"Northern Ireland has tough animal welfare legislation in place - maximum five-year custodial sentences, lifetime bans from keeping animals and fines of up to £20,000.
