Tony Saunders: Baiting the Trap [2001] hardback

Usually when animals are mistreated it's because their owners don't know any better. But there is another kind of cruelty to animals, one that brings delight and satisfaction to its depraved enthusiasts. The animals are used and abused in order to line the owner's pocket, or even worse, just for kicks. This book shows how Tony Saunders posed as a dodgy dealer in rare animals, or spent nights covered in mud and debris observing illegal badger digs. He has trained with, among others, the SAS and has seen the nastiest side of human nature. In this non-fiction thriller Tony creates his own role within the RSPCSA to become embroiled in the criminal underworld that preys on animals, both in the UK and abroad.
