A 'badger baiting' site was uncovered by police, with investigations continuing. The plot of disturbed earth was discovered by a campaigning charity and reported to Greater Manchester Police.

And, the group revealed it has raised the cruel practice of badger baiting in Greater Manchester with the mayor, Andy Burnham, and senior police chiefs.
