Used to have friends who had a house at the top of Withdean Park who's garden backed on to the woods. They would get badgers every night in their garden. Went and watched them a few times after putting sausages out on the lawn - utterly enthralling.
It's disgusting - should never happen. What makes it even worse is that there is a vaccine for cattle to protect against the type of TB badgers pass on .... only it's banned .... by the EU !!!! Hmmmm .....
