Good to see the Gloucestershire Constabulary wildlife crime team responding speedily at allegations of wildlife criminals in the countryside recently. Officers on the ground and the National Police Air Service helicopter were deployed and some individuals were reportedly dispersed. Full story here. A swift and effective response can make all the difference.

We are sure that the Countryside Alliance and others campaigning for stronger action against wildlife and rural crime will join us in sending congratulations to the officers involved.

Let’s see more of this.
