As has already been said by another, I'm a bit of a leftie, not quite tree hugging yet though. I'm a definate lover of animals, except goats, it's the eyes!
Has the sales lady ever met a badger? They aren't like they are in cartoons.
I bumped into one on my way home from work at around 0300hrs a few weeks back. They're angry!
Me walking up the cycle path, quite a nice tree and bush lined path. A badger was crossing said path. Badger turned, looked at me, growled and then began to advance.
Me being the sissy I am promptly back tracked and went around.

All in all an unneccessary display of aggression from Mr or Mrs badger.

Still in my mind there are large badger farms which catch the badgers around april, shave them bald and then let them run on the farm again. To that farmer willing to take on badgers like that, I salute you
