According to the annual Wildlife Crime Report produced by Wildlife and Countryside Link, wildlife crimes reached record highs in 2021. It is sad to read page after page of hare coursing, the killing of badgers, bats, and birds of prey, the disturbing of seals and dolphins, illicit wildlife trade, and other wildlife crimes.
Bad, bad news about the recent UK wildlife crimes and hopeless words about a European leader. Brexit, lawlessnesses or weakening the little remaining biodiversity... seems that the UK lost the compass 😱
Wildlife crime in England and Wales soared during the pandemic and is at a record-high level.
The UK has lost more biodiversity than any G7 country”
What a sad statement!
We continue to fail our planet and the creatures that live here. Sometimes through careless failure, other times through blatant cruelty.
Worse, most of these creatures were here before humanity. We invaded their home and pushed them out. I see it where I live increasingly.
Makes one wonder which are the beasts.
A very mindful article and wonderful images, especially your drawing. Thank you.
Animals and nature deserve so much better.
Thanks for calling attention to this. It's appaling! There are badgers around here, too. I need to check on their status.

Thank you for calling attention to this. The values of humans at times are quite saddening.
