NatureWatch Campaign Supporters
 The NatureWatch organisation ran a campaign to see who
supported proposals to make badger-related crime a notifiable
offence. This would mean that Police Forces would be obliged
to collate statistics on it, and to make it easier to track
badger-baiters and other wildlife criminals.
For more information, please look at the NatureWatch badger
supporters page
The following
Celebs showed their caring sides and pledged to support the
campaign:
|
 David
Bellamy - "Badger Baiting is one of the cruellest
facts of life in our countryside. It is carried out by
sadists of the worst sort who have no regard to their dogs let
alone these wild creatures. In Britain badgers are protected
by law and I ask both the Home Office and the Police to do
everything in their power to enforce both the spirit and the
letter of those laws".
Not surprisingly, his very "bigness" as an
environmental enthusiast, earns him the nickname of The
Jolly Green Giant. One of the best books with which he is
associated is the " Reader's
Digest" The Countryside Detective.

- Sharron Davies - Supports the Naturewatch
Badger Campaign seeking greater protection for badgers.
|
 Harry
Hill - "Just a note to say that I am more than
happy to support your campaign to make cruelty to wildlife a
crime as I need a steady supply of fit badgers for my
parades. Keep in touch and Good Luck."
What else can you say about a man who is intelligent enough to
be a doctor, surreal enough to be a surrealist and inventive
enough to arrange a badger parade. We reckon he is a First
Class Scamp.

- Wendy
Turner-Webster - Ms Turner supports the Naturewatch
Badger Campaign to see badger-cruelty taken more seriously by
police forces.

The following Celebrities have also pledged their support to end
animal cruelty. Animal cruelty can range from ill-treatment and
abuse, through to the use of animals for trivial purposes, such as
cosmetics testing.
|
- Sean Hughes - "I support NatureWatch and
agree that a Royal Commission should be set up. Wherever
possible animals should not be used where there are
alternatives. I would hope to see a complete stop on the use
of animals eventually."
As well as being a star panellist on Never
Mind The Buzzcocks Sean is now a successful novellist, his
second novel being called The
Detainees
