Sick bitch.
In UK, badgers are protected. It's illegal to trap, hunt or kill them.
Why because Brits were putting them in a golden crust and serving them with a green veggie?

Badgers are very nasty animals.

I think I want to raise them...should be a piece of cake, I already have kids.


Ha, indeed.

It depends on the variety of badger. The American Badger is a mean solitary creature, the Eurasian badger (like the one pictured above) is much less so -- they can actually tolerate each other.

In Britland, they live as a family group in setts, and are, like all the others, nocturnal. I have several times narrowly missed a Mr. or Mrs. Brock wandering down the middle of the road around midnight as I drive home from a friend's house.

I've even seen dead or injured ones at the side of the road, where in their case, the driver didn't miss them. From the back, all you can see is this indistinct grey shape waddling along the road. There are no distinctive stripes such as on the face. And they're a lot bigger than one imagines. The local RSPCA give out warnings not to approach an injured badger, or even one you think is dead.....if they get their teeth into you, they don't let go in a hurry. The advice is to call the RSPCA and they will deal with it.

and you should be proud, I not unlike others who shall be nameless, did not make a hobbit comment.








it was killing me but I kept myself in control.

Yes, it unfortunately does happen that they find themselves in road accidents on occasion.

Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!

How about a just plain Stink Badger?

I'm pleased to have derailed the Blurt thread with talk of badgers.

Annie... She doesn't know what she is missing... :kiss:

Indeed.

Skunks are the problem here in Canada. You hit one with your car. Then you and everyone who drives through the mess gets to carry a reminder around.
 
Random thought.

Self confidence is a marvelous thing. I'd never think to compare myself to him, nor think myself slighted for not getting the same attention. I wonder at those who can.

I'm more impressed than you can know. :cool:
