Badger caught in trap ‘illegally’ set by Derbyshire hunt master

A hunt master has been accused by activists of illegally persecuting badgers after he was filmed allegedly setting a trap and baiting it with peanuts.

The trap later caught a badger but the animal managed to escape before Christopher White returned.

Mr White, a joint master of the Barlow Hunt in Derbyshire, declined to comment on the footage.
