"Shine a light on Poaching!"

Shine a light

Following increasing concern within the membership about the scourge of poaching the British Deer Society has launched a campaign to raise awareness and help individuals report their concerns to the police.

"Shine a light on poaching" will be promoted at gamefairs and events across the country and has already been reported in the National press in the Guardian and the Daily Express as well as in local newspapers and websites. 

If you witness what you believe to be a wildlife crime being committed, report it to the police straightaway, either by ringing 999 or your local station. Do not leave it until it is too late.

If you can, please tell police an exact location with possibly a map reference as to where you last saw the offender(s). A landmark may be helpful in pinpointing the location.

A brief description with particular relevance to clothing, implements they have with them, and any dogs etc. If they have a vehicle then the make, colour and registration number will be of great help.

WILDLIFE OFFENCES ARE COMMITTED BY CRIMINALS.
DO NOT APPROACH SUSPECTS YOURSELF - THEY MAY RESPOND WITH VIOLENCE.
