Fido said:"Made in England" is a different issue to "where does the hair come from" There are doubts about some brushes that are claimed to have been made in England. But it's only speculation. As to the sourcing of badger hair, that too will remain a subject of intense speculation among just a few aficionados.The fact is that there are huge mark ups on most good quality badger brushes, not just Plissons.

There is no EU Wildlife legislation, the environment is part of the local law of every country member. Please show me the law where is said that the Eurasian badger is protected in the EU countries.henkverhaar said:antdad said:Forgive me but I thought that even if you had it you couldn't even use Euro badger for luxury products any more
That is correct. EU wildlife protection legislation protects indigenous species regardless where they are harvested. So if the Eurasian badger is protected, Eurasian badger products are banned no matter where they come from. By law, even if Eurasian badgers are harvested in China (which is possible; most chinese badgers are hog badgers, but there is a population of Eurasian badgers in north-west China), their hair cannot be imported. That is not to say that it doesn't happen, or that it is actively policed...
Badgers were regarded as small game, but have had protected status in Spain since 1989. All hunting is forbidden, but pest badgers can be taken under licence, although licensing policy depends on the individual autonomous communes.

Also, according to this document (page 40).

As you say it depends upon the region, but can they be hunted? Or only dealt with as pests? Although how is the distinction made.
