It is not good, and certainly doesn't show people care enough. 1,300 crimes and only 22 convictions? And those convictions carrying fines that won't even bother anyone too much. All they have is a little more expense than usual that month, plus the inconvenience of having to show up in court.
There are many crimes against wildlife in the English countryside.
So far I have seen no re-appearance of the "Larsen traps" in the orchard, which I fought so hard against. I now think they needed a special licence and either couldn't be bothered to get one or didn't think it was convenient.
The birds put in those traps (Crows and Magpies) suffer dreadfully for many hours.
