I am drawing on the only other parallel I can think of at this moment: an NGO running a women’s refuge might, in a case of domestic violence, gather quite a lot of evidence and help the victim. It would not be the prosecuting agency, but would simply pass the case over to the authorities at the appropriate moment. I must declare an interest as a patron of a women’s refuge. I cannot see why what happens in other walks of life—such as the example I have given, which is a fairly common occurrence—should be any different for wildlife.
