Badger killed our hens years ago ripped the door off the house to get in, Dad got a shot at the vermin but missedabout 20 odd years ago my brother was woken up in the night by a commotion? he said comming from his chicken shed, when he went out to investigate what all the noise was about, he said it was a badger, yes a badger, not a fox trying to catch, kill one of the hens? Now in the western world? the vast majority of the public are not involved with food, animals farmed for meat production, but are happy to let others have that job? but if a pest, animal, preditor, whever it be animal or human threatens your livelyhood? Its like all these recent introductions such as sea eagles and beavers, sea eagles have soon learnt that an easy meal is to be had from taking lambs, beavers know i dont thing they prey on farm animals, are now starting to effect the land and its drainage were farms animals and food crops are grown, now i never had much of an education but i soon worked all this out?
No no no according to some of the numpty white settlers around here foxes don't kill lambs either,It was a fox wasn’t it

No no no according to some of the numpty white settlers around here foxes don't kill lambs either,
They only take dead ones because us farmers don't look after them properly.
Recoil I hopeWonder what happened at the end if filming ......
Tbf… they do like a good earth worm, or mole… because the barstewards like ploughing my fields up looking for themThe guff the Badger Trust serves up, is that badgers feed on a diet of earthworms and grubs.
How strange then, that it’s jaws have the largest bite of any mammal. And muscles which attach said jaws to the skull are massive.
