Graeme Wilson’s effort to keep Harriet the badger

Where it stands

NatureScot has rejected Graeme Wilson’s application to keep Harriet, and three wildlife welfare organisations have challenged his effort; the British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council has also suspended his membership. The dispute remains unresolved, with disagreement over when Harriet became accustomed to people and whether she can safely return to the wild.

Watching for: Any NatureScot clarification of the refusal, review or enforcement process, an independent assessment of Harriet's release prospects, or a confirmed welfare placement.
