We must spread the news, as well as the love.
Many people fail to realise the damaging
image given to one of our most good natured and loveable gentlemen of the countryside. The badger is the butt of many a cruel
joke and hateful slur, as well as being portrayed as a troublemaker in the many highways and byways of our fair land. We try
to inform people at every opportunity of the false nature of these accusations, and hopefully enlighten them as to the horrors
that many of these animals face, as can be seen from the image below.
We aren't the only ones that take this seriously, the government does
too.
