THE Gloucestershire Badger Group is holding a public meeting in Stroud to highlight Operation Meles, an intelligence-led UK-wide police operation gathering evidence of badger persecution and targeting offenders.
Badger persecution has been raised to the level of a UK Wildlife crime priority, which means every Chief Constable has to account for their force's work to combat crimes against badgers and their setts.
The meeting starts at 10am on Saturday at the Old Town Hall.
