National Badger Day


Today (June 16th) is National Badger Day. Perhaps you have enjoyed watching the badgers on Springwatch recently - it seems that late-night viewers preferred watching badgers to watching Big Brother! However this lovely wild creature is under threat as, despite over 42,000 replies to the government's consultation on the culling of badgers in 2006 - with over 96% being against the killing of badgers - our government is still considering killing badgers. There is a very real danger that snaring and gassing will be allowed to kill badgers - if you are at all concerned I encourage you to read about this and consider signing the petition against it.
