Some good news to come out this week at last. The government has decided to call a halt to the barbaric slaughter of badgers and replace it with a vaccination regime. Hopefully this will be succesful and both sides of the debate will be satisfied!

It is good to note that those of us"out of townies"have been proved to be correct ,when trying to advise those in favour of the cull, that it was more down to the way that bovines were not being managed correctly, that would not make a cull succesfull , and vacination was a cheaper and far more effective method

Posted on 05/03/2020 16:43 by moulesyI've always thought it odd how many of those "road kill" badgers make it to the verge at the side of the road, though!

I have myself one moved to grass verge in a country to prevent an accident and I can tell they are no light weight but lovely animals I did once sit in the hedge by a sett to see if could watch one only to look around and see one watching me

I had the pleasure of having one caught in the nightlight in our garden at 2 am as he was ransacking the ground cage put out to feed the small birds. He'd overturned it and after looking at me in disgust, turned tail and slowly shuffled out back into the woods from whence he came. I've never been more delighted to be woken up at that hour.
