Stephen Fry, Michaela Strachan and Deborah Meaden are among celebrities supporting World Animal Protection and Crimestoppers's Wildlife Crime Awareness Week, October 18 to 25, which aims to raise awareness with the public for how they can spot wildlife crime and who to report it to.

Fry commented 'Morally, nothing separates someone who kills a swan by throwing rocks in the UK, from someone shooting a wild animal for fun on the plains of Southern Africa. The world has woken up to the seriousness of wildlife crime. Join me and World Animal Protection and use your voice to speak out and put an end to this criminality against animals'.
