#Badgers looking kinda meh

This is an absolute disgrace. Not content with having slaughtered 50% of English badgers, the government is yet again bowing to the UK dairy lobby (which won't rest until it has totally eradicated English badgers).

I agree with Peter Hambly, executive director of the Badger Trust, who said they're using badgers as a scapegoat for not taking “more decisive” cattle-based action on bTB.

And this shit is EXACTLY what is wrong in college sports. It is sick to the extreme.

Luke Fickell has given the #Badgers a top 25 transfer class.

Among those transfers are:

- A QB1 (Mordecai)
- A highly touted QB (Evers)
- A plug-and-play DB (Maitre)
- Two former Cincy OL (Huber & Renfro)
- Two productive DL (Pietrowski & Varner)

A master at work.

#Introduction

Hope I can do this more than once while trying to learn about #Mastodon.

Anyway, love sports and especially #chicagocubs #chicagobears #chicagobulls University of Wisconsin #Badgers

Also interested in #nftcolllectors #educationalleadership #investing #PeaceInOurTime and a bunch of other things.

Fingers crossed for finding some friends and feeds to follow ...

That was a nice comeback win for the #Badgers.

People who know me from the Bird Site know that my garden is visited by #Badgers every night. I've been lucky enough to be out in the garden with them on very rare occasions. There are many threads with the hashtag #LoveBadgers on my feed.

Here's an example I uploaded to YouTube filmed on my then newish Canon EOS M6 Mk2. Usually I film them on near ground level cctv cameras. 😊

"Scientists, vets and naturalists are calling for a moratorium on the badger cull in the light of evidence that they say shows nine years of killing badgers has failed to reduce bovine TB in cattle."

"Although the government pledged in 2020 to phase out badger culling in favour of cattle and badger vaccination, better cattle TB tests and enhanced biosecurity measures on farms, new licences issued this summer will continue to see badgers shot dead until 2025."
