Over the decades I have seen adult and juvenile badgers out in the day. In places they feel safe or just cubs wandering around. Seeing them out a lot and wandering about is not normal.
Yesterday a cub was filmed running along a wooded path. It looked healthy but still needed to be checked. I have asked on the local group who posted the clip and the image below for details. Still nothing. Someone who used to check badgers there said that the last time she checked all badgers were gone so either badgers have expanded from a nearby area or these were missed (which seems unlikely).
I am told one young badger was taken by Secret World but they simply swoop in, grab and never let Bristol Badger Group know. We just find a badger missing and spend days trying to find out what happened.
BBG has only been around 35 years so and Secret World KNOW how to contact me but never bother.,
I do not care who rescues a badger in need of help BUT it is unacceptable that the local badger group is never informed. This shows why wildlife conservation and care in the UK is a losing battle.
