I have just completed a 59pp document that combines the 2022-(Feb) 2025 Fox and Badger deaths registers. It is grim reading.
Well over 600 foxes and over 150 badgers and, as I keep saying, these are only the reported deaths. You could probably double both totals.
In the last week Sarah Mills (Bristol Wildlife Rescue) had call outs to three RTA vixens who were aborting still born cubs. There was also a heavily pregnant sow boar.
The persistence of local authorities to not put in place road under./overpasses for wildlife or speed bumps on the worse roads (where evening and night time "racers" kill a lot of wildlife) really shows the lack of intertest and concern. "We have no budget for this" is always the response while always calling out what "champions for the environment and re-wilding" they are.
It has to change because we are losing too much wildlife -foxes, badgers, deer, otters, hedgehogs and more.
