(4) A person is not guilty of an offence under subsection (3) above if he shows that— (a) the badger had not been killed, or had been killed otherwise than in contravention of the provisions of this Act or of the M1Badgers Act 1973; or ( the badger or other thing in his possession or control had been sold (whether to him or any other person) and, at the time of the purchase, the purchaser had had no reason to believe that the badger had been killed in contravention of any of those provisions. If you want to keep the skulls I would recommend you register them as from an RTA/natural causes death with your local Badger Group and Wildlife Crimes Police Officer. My interpretation of this act is that the onus is on you to prove that the badger has not been killed illegally. If anyone is interested the whole Act can be viewed here: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/51/contents 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
