SIR – Why do you suppose dead badgers outnumber dead rabbits on our roads these days?
You would never have seen a dead badger years ago, but the other night I saw two on my way home from work and it has become a frequent sight over the last few years.
I’m sure it is not the farmers killing them to protect their cattle and leaving them on the side of the road as a reminder for public awareness. So, the badgers must have decided to take more chances on the public highway.
Perhaps the signs which currently say “beware bike” could be altered to say “beware badger” in an effort to protect this particular furry friend.
