Make a visible effort to photograph the baiters and try to interview with names, saying it's for an investigative reporting project, and the baiting practice is not legal (ie, as if an attempt to capture, and unlikely the practice can be shown as otherwise). Perhaps letters to photography clubs and such can make a requirement that the photographer assert that no baiting was used before works are acceptable in contests or whatever. Take action to get the practice and perpetrators be recognized as wrong and apparently an illegal act.
