Another mixed bag of reports from our sett-surveyors this week. Sadly yet again the RSPCA and the APHA had to be contacted. Confronted by a dreadful scene in one field, four sheep in pitiful condition, three dead already and one dying.

Almost on a weekly basis now we are coming across and reporting dead or dying livestock. If you find livestock in distress or dead it’s useful to take a photo of any ear tags for identification. Then contact the RSPCA or the APHA’s emergency number.

On a positive note more setts were found looking healthy and active and it’s good to see Avon & Somerset Police taking an active interest in badger persecution too. Of course, the proof will be in the pudding, but with an increase in people out sett checking, more persecution is being found and recorded.

Come and join us! Day walks weekdays and weekends. ... See MoreSee Less

Surveying continues across all the Somerset zones today. It’s now the busiest time of year for us to get out and check old setts and survey for new ones. Sett-surveying is THE most important thing you can do to protect badgers that live near you. If you know where they live you can protect them.
