<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of the number
of people who have been charged with, and prosecuted for, offences brought by way
of the Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996. This information could only be obtained
by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Although
it is not possible to identify the number of people charged with particular offences,
records are held showing the overall number of offences in which a prosecution commenced
in the magistrates’ courts. In 2015 there was one offence commenced under the Wild
Mammals (Protection) Act 1996.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
