Although it is his Welsh cousin Owen first on the chopping block, but it looks like Billy the Badger may need to go undercover soon...

Are you serious???? I thought all badgers were 6ft tall and wore football kits, This is worse than the day I found out Santa and the Easter Bunny were fake too.
Did you know that badgers are one of the most vicious and fearsome carnivores in this country? The cull is necessary as they are a massive threat to livestock and poultry and are even responsible for the wiping out of the wolves, bears, boars and beavers from this country hundreds of years ago.
The death toll on humans is in the 50s each year, as they hunt the wood and parklands of England in packs.
Very smart, very vicious and one of the most dangerous predators on the planet.
I'd rather we had Hyenas in our countryside than badgers.

My brother swears blind he was followed by a badger one night a few years ago on Wimbledon Parkside. Sounds like he had a lucky escape

He really doesn't know how lucky he is.

Wash your mouth out, you. That's, that's, that's, some word I cannot recall right now, but it IS that!!
Not real, eh. Next you'll be telling us all that Climate change is something to do with the way humans live on this planet. :005:
All the do gooders are challenging the cull, rather have a farmer have to slaughter otherwise healthy cattle just because they fail the TB testing, same people who complain about the price of milk going up

Surely not. Really?
I can't remember ever seeing a news story about a badger killing a human. One fox attacks a child and it's front page news.
I'm neither badgerphile or badgerphobe by the way. Live and let live or cull the vermin.
Whichever.
I'm shocked to hear that badgers kill humans :001:
As for the cull all for it!
This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard since someone said they saw a guinea-pig with a pancake on top of it.
As if...
Or was it a rabbit? lol

Terrifying.
Why waste all that meat if there's a cull, Badger pie anyone?

Did you not get a photo of the roadsign in Germany with the turnoff for Wankum ?
7 years ago and no fatalities.
On your figures we're looking for 350 dead since then.
Have you not heard about the 70 plus dead Mexicans found in a badger set the other day, seven of them had their hearts ripped out as well. Very deadly the Mexican badger and i believe a few escaped from Chessington zoo a few years ago and have bred with the local Surrey badgers. There will be a bloodbath in Woking and Addlestone mark my words.

I can't believe that anyone really fell for it. I almost convinced myself that I was telling the truth. I mean, badgers being one of the most vicious predators known to man? Sheesh!

I love nostalgia.
If I remember correctly Len Badger was always being tipped to play for England but much to the chagrin of the Northern Press and supporters he never got his chance thanks to a certain full back whose name was .... George Cohen

645 interesting, worthwhile posts and in a moment of madness you destroy your credibility for all time.
Come now Tony, it was a lighthearted wind-up on a harmless thread. All meant in good jest.

I once turned down a lift offered by an unlicensed minicab, driven by a badger. I thought at the time something didn't seem quite right...

I'm a Pembrokeshire Owen, I hope I'm not quite in the cull boat!
Look at all these crazy jumping Badgers.

Well played Mr. CCD, those Wisconsin badgers can be quite dangerous
That badger attack video is pretty terrifying. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to have a badger as our mascot was absolutely crazy, a total nutter. It was poorly thought out, irresponsible and reckless.

Don't be too harsh mate. You try telling a badger he hasn't got the gig...
