Met. Wildlife Unit Update

Back in April I posted a blog on proposed cuts to the budget of the Met. Police Wildlife Unit (CLICK) and pointed visitors to the World Wildlife Fund website, which had helpfully set up a web page for emailing the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner to complain. It seems to have worked. According to a quotation on Barkingside 21 (title link) Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has decided to cancel the proposed cuts. As London is the world capital of the illegal trade in artifacts and "medicines" from endangered animals, this is good news.
