Appeal for badger-baiting details
People in Lincolnshire are being asked to help in the fight against badger baiting in the county.

The Lincolnshire Badger Association raised awareness of the problem as part of an event at Ashby de le Launde for Badger Awareness Day.

Lincolnshire Police said poaching and attacks on badgers occur on an almost nightly basis in the county.

They said they relied on tip-offs from members of the public as they occurred in remote areas.
