Default Badgers

Lots of dead one on the side of the road.....

Do they hibernate? Have they came out of hibernation a bit hungover?

I counted 4 dead ones yesterday during a 30 minute drive.

They do hibernate, but like lots of things about now, even the flowers are out up my way and a got a foot of snow last night.

Think our island moved somewhere else but not no ones caught on yet.

Well, the government's vets have decreed that there's going to be a whole lot more dead badgers coming up as they are being blamed for causing the TB cattle deaths (despite strong evidence to suggest the spread of TB has nothing to do with badgers )

Isn't it advised to report dead badgers to the RSPCA? Something to do with them mating for life, breeding programs.....?

Sorry mate but Badgers don't hibernate, they are just less active during the cold winter months.

One of the little ******* tried to commit suicide by jumping into the road in front of my car last night..

Don't they teach the green cross code in Badger school?

I knew I had seen something in the local papers, it isn't the RSPCA, but I found there are loads of badger groups, below is a link to a local one to me, with a link to reporting a road accident. I guess its more to do with keeping a eye on the population....?

http://www.badgergroup.org.uk/

Anyway I think its sad to see any animal killed on the road....

They are not too sharp off the mark and tend to walk in the road at night. We see a good many run over ones around here.

heheh, Badgers Desktop on main monitor is Weebl n Bob and second monitor has BADGERS!

Bollocks to Badgers and snakes though, bring on Lions, Zebra's and Kenya!

As for real life badgers, I've seen a few, there's a sett (sp?) a little way into the woods that back onto my parents place and we've had them appear in the garden once in a while.

There's one of them "sitting on the fence" & "stating the obvious" posts again

How many of your 8000 post have been like that
