This is a devolved matter so this reply relates to England only.
The table below shows licences issued in England under Section 16(1)(k) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, to allow the killing of ravens for the purposes of prevention of damage to livestock (in all cases sheep).
Year | 2013/14 | 2014/15 | 2015/16 | 2016/17 | 2017/18 (to date) |
