Police appeal over badger baiters
18 May 2010 - BBC News
Wildlife crime officers are investigating a possible attempt at badger
baiting in Aberdeenshire. Grampian Police said part of a sett in the Aboyne area
appeared to have been deliberately dug up in the past few weeks. The force has
appealed for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
Wildlife crime officer Donald MacLeod said: "It appears that part of the sett
has been deliberately dug up some time in the last few weeks." He added: "This
illegal practice results in the badger being killed at the sett or taken away
where it is made to fight dogs." Pc MacLeod said that although the practice was
not common in the north east, it was still carried out in other parts of
Scotland.
