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!  smile

I bet many don't think the same way when they get rid of whitefly on their tomatoes though

Mayhap there weren’t that many vehicles about compared to now CY, it was  1970🀷🏻‍♂️. Less vehicles=less roadkill.

I can't recall seeing many badgers either alive or by the roadside fifty years ago. The population has clearly increased.

Another look at the lack of any dead animal noted at the side of roads 50yrs ago,  could also be the amount of vehicles on the roads now     , with the drivers now cocooned in their "safe"environment at much higher speeds,    and as noticed when driving,   the amount ofdrivers, who do not seem to be able to read the road , and conditions  they are driving in

"most of the people talking about badgers know very little about them. They do more damage to wildlife than any other animal."

Actually, I rather think humankind takes that title,  safety! frown

The eco warriors with little knowledge of the countryside impose their will again.
