Since the hullaballoo about TB and badger culling, I've noticed a lot of dead badgers by the road.
Are they throwing themselves under buses on support of their kin in the Southwest?
I refuse to believe that our farming community would be involved in the deaths...
Anyone else notice this? |

Funnily enough it's the A12 in Essex where I'm seeing this.
Having been a driver for many years, I've seen roadkill before but seeing a badger, alive or dead was a rarity. I see at least 5 or 6 a day now... |

its a seasonal thing the youngsters are having to search further afield for food and mates, mix that up with all the roadworks going on and you get more road kill |

Can't obviously speak for all farming communities but yes many of the badgers are being placed on the roads to make it look like they have been hit by cars. |

Would be interesting to see if the bodies contain shotgun pellets... |

There's often an increase after the clocks change because we start travelling at a different time to their feeding routines and they find it difficult to adjust quickly...
There is also speculation that badgers killed by baiting are left at the side of the road by the cunts who do it to look like road kill...partucularly those with their heads and shoulders left in the road so that the evidence is destroyed by them being hit repeatedly by vehicles...a badger carcass is difficult to dispose of otherwise... |

There was a high profile case in Shropshire where a number of them had been found to have been shot following post mortem. They were on a country road. Easier to hide evidence of this on a main road, would just take one lorry to obliterate them |
