Friend,
Badger baiting season is fast approaching, and our hearts are heavy as we receive shocking intelligence. This barbaric blood sport is claiming the lives of over 10,000 badgers each year.
These gentle creatures are being brutally tortured and killed for entertainment. The rise of this cruelty is fuelled by the popularity of sharing graphic content on social media.
Right now, our team of investigators is working on several investigative leads to bring these cruel perpetrators to justice. However, our budget has dropped by 20% in recent months. Without additional funding, our plans for this season will fall short.
Badger baiting involves sending trained dogs into badger setts to hold the animal while hunters dig them out. Once exposed, badgers are torn apart by packs of savagely trained dogs.
This illegal sport not only endangers badgers but also inflicts severe injuries on the dogs involved. Hunters, fearing veterinary scrutiny, often stitch wounds without pain relief or antibiotics. Severely injured dogs are either shot or left to die.
We urgently need your help to fund our undercover investigations.
With your support, we can dismantle the networks responsible for this horror and ensure that those involved are held accountable.
