The protection of badgers: where are we now?

Darnell, Hannah

Abstract

Whilst originally enacted to make provision for the protection of wild birds and their habitats, the 1981 Act introduced the notion of species-specific legislation as it amended several key pieces of animal welfare legislation involving certain mammals including deer, seals and badgers, and set out what it considered to be protected wild animals.
