Adam Price: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps she is taking to eliminate badger
baiting. [23970]
Mr. Morley: This Government deplore the illegal killing of badgers. The principal legislation protecting the welfare of badgers is
the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. Under the 1992 Act it is an offence to kill, take or dig for a badger, or attempt to do so,
except under licence or in certain particular circumstances, or to injure one or attempt to do so. The maximum penalty for an
offence under the 1992 Act is a fine of £5,000 and/or six months' imprisonment.
The level of protection for badgers is unique for an unendangered animal and reflects the concern which is felt by Parliament about
the gratuitous acts of cruelty to which badgers have been subjected all too often in the past.
