That this House is appalled at the high level of crime committed against wildlife in England and Wales, in particular that against protected species such as badgers; praises the work of police wildlife crime officers and other bodies and individuals through the initiative Partnership for Action against Wildlife Crime; is concerned about reports of people who have been cruel to wildlife and who have then gone on to commit crimes against other people; and therefore calls upon the Government to take tougher action for the protection of wildlife, the prevention of wildlife crime and the successful detection, prosecution and punishment of those who commit such crime.
