A landowner must be consulted before a snare is laid so it IS illegal to set a snare even with a DAFF derogation from NPWS. It is NOT illegal to release a protected species (ANNEX IV HABITATS DIRECTIVE) from an illegally set snare. There are "artificially high numbers" of livestock in England. Badgers were a native species supplanted by an introduced species. Badger predation on ground birds is not a cause for bird decline. Loss of habitat through hedgerow removal Is a major concern.
You dont hear the Irish farmers crying about TB. Its apitty the English government dont have the balls to carry out a cull and reduce the numbers to stop the spread of TB and to give ground nesting birds and other rare habitats a chance to recover after years of pressure from artificially high numbers of Badgers.
