If its alive release it and don't tell anyone,if it's dead release it don't tell anyone,i think you can see where I'm going with this.

Greenhunter Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I have a theory that quite a good percentage of 'road-kill badgers' died in some other way. Can't prove it and don't really want to. Just food for thought! If no-one else ever knows did it really happen? GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulpicide Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Road kill Badgers the cause of death of road kill badgers is MOTOR VEHICULES with the the penalties under the Badger act who would take a chance on carrying a badger about or have someone see them lobbing it on to a road. I wonder how the roadkill squirrels,rabbits or foxes die ? :shaun: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I stuff mine, stick them in a glass case with a hedgehog in theirs mouths and flog them off at car boot sales. They're very popular. I'm sending Brian May one for Christmas. I do the same with cats, swans, barn owls and Dartford warblers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bry-M Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) This, http://www.walesonli...91466-26661783/ "James shot the badger twice because he wanted to make sure he killed it humanely" "But the magistrates imposed the full amount of costs £1,461.21 (including two vets’ post mortem examinations)" Shot twice at close range with a shotgun, yet needed TWO post mortem examinations?! I'm no vet, but i could probably hazard a good guess at cause of death in this case... Edited December 10, 2012 by Bry-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
