Badgers
Sadly I have a large set next door, which has grown to over 12 badgers due to the mild winter.
Aside from the usual burrowing under fences letting stock out, this year they've attacked 3 ewes in labour, and taken a fair few lambs.
The last straw was last night - Putting the orphans out in pens with the flock for re-introduction, I saw the f**kers round on a lamb and ewe sheltering under a tree, the ewe ran off but the lamb ran into the fence, and two of the three badgers tore it to shreds before I could get over the fence and chase them off.
20 mins later the same set were by the hurdle pens trying to get at the orphans/ cades and were so effing confident I got to 10-12ft before they scarpered.
Surely It must be legal to deal with the things if their in the process of Killing stock?
The badger set has been littered with lamb legs, heads etc every week now since april started - They've taken at least 7-8 I can emphatically say was them, and theirs another 3 uncounted for which have vanished.
