520			_aBadgers have been persecuted for centuries. A raft of legislation has evolved to protect this species but a recent case appears to have exposed a major loophole in badger protection, namely in protection of their homes or setts. Examines the case "D P P v Green" ([2001] WLR 505) , in detail. Considers and analyses past and current legisation such as the Badgers Act 1991. Discusses whether Parliament's intention in passing the Badgers Act is being carried out and whether there is a loophole in the "Green" case. Proposes a new offence of attempting to interfere with a badger sett.
