"WILDLIFE CRIME - TOGETHER WE CAN STOP IT"

 

Crimes against wildlife include:-

  • illegal trapping, shooting, snaring or poisoning of birds or animals
  • the taking of freshwater pearl mussels from Tayside's rivers
  • badger digging
  • poaching of deer, game or fish
  • the collecting of wild birds' eggs
  • digging up, or in some cases picking, wild plants
  • the introduction to the wild of non-indigenous species
  • illegal international trade in wildlife


If you suspect a crime against wildlife has occurred

  • do not disturb the scene by moving items or by walking about unnecessarily
  • do not touch dead animals or birds if you suspect they may be poisoned baits or victims - most of the substances used are extremely dangerous and you may put yourself at risk
  • if possible video or photograph the scene, or make a rough sketch
  • do not approach or remonstrate with any suspect
  • write any vehicle registration numbers down - don't trust to memory
  • contact the police as soon as possible and ask to speak to a Wildlife Crime Officer

If you prefer you can call Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 (Calls are FREE and you don't have to leave your name or address).


 REMEMBER!! WILDLIFE OFFENCES ARE COMMITTED BY CRIMINALS. 

DO NOT APPROACH SUSPECTS YOURSELF - THEY MAY RESPOND WITH VIOLENCE.
