Oh, well. Badgers are good diggers with very powerful forelimbs and claws. There has been this demand for a cull of badgers from the farming community, but there is a lot of resistance to it. Many people feel that the farmers are exaggerating the case. As far as I am aware no one has started gassing yet, and I hope they never do. There must be a better if more expensive, and therefore farmer-unfriendly, answer.

Why aren't prairie dogs carnivores, Dr Bill?
