I hope it's a 'staycation', a nice little shepherds hut in the Cotswolds perhaps?  The carbon footprint of jet-setting badgers would be off the scale and at odds with our net zero targets.

Id love a badger, they can holiday here anytime. There's an old sett in the woods by my house but no real evidence of them sadly. I do see them on the lane occasionally, lolloping along.

They can do a proper job on our slugs

Thought this was about my drive home last night when i almost ran over 2 badgers within 200 metres. I have a mate who vacinates them locally and when he surveyed numbers prior to the work there were at least 5 badgers per square kilometre.

This is good news, following the science rather than emotions and entrenched views. Better for cattle and farmers also, even if some of them don't see it yet.

Very lucky to have a satellite set just outside my back garden gate.

Can someone post the pic please? Fairly sure that it was before my time. I definitely saw the thread though at some point.

I met the badger in the food tent on a 24hr race at god knows what time in the morning.

He is/was very nice chap.

5 YEARS!!!! Farmers will genocide them in that time. I watched the Brian may programme and I took away from that that it was the condition that farmers keep their livestock in that was the main reason.

Have a couple of badgers in our garden every night, great creatures

And another issue for meat-eaters to ponder on their next shopping trip.
