Badgers live in underground burrows called 'setts' that have a number of rooms (also known as chambers). Some setts in the UK are over 100 years old and can be very extensive, spanning upto 50m long! #MondayMammalFact #MammalMonday

To all our UK colleagues, happy #NationalBadgerDay! These badgers are based on a painting by Henry Hamilton Johnston & published in his "British Mammals" (1903), freely available in #BHLib via @amnh.org: www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/9409345 #WorldBadgerDay #MammalMonday #LoveBadgers #ILoveBHL

Please help spread awareness!

More misery for badgers, Labour approves shooting Government ignores internal expert advice as it sanctions further killing of badgers

Lovely animals
That are being eradicated by UK Govt
over 240,000 badgers killed so far by UK
and the killing frenzy continues
UK Labor now approves even more mass shootings of badgers across 9 killing zones in England

Kudos to Mary Barton who for over 9 years has stood outside UK Govt building in the rain cold wind and heat dressed as a badger to protest about the mass killing of badgers of over a quarter of a million a badgers
As UK Labor continues the blood thirsty killing of badgers

Pure hypocrisy. Labour’s Angela Eagle claims it’s “not statistically possible” to measure culling’s impact — then says they’ll analyse how “effective” the last cull was.

Make it make sense.

After killing 250,000 badgers, TB in cattle’s only dropped 1%. It’s not working.

UK warned it's on course to fail in efforts to wipe out bovine TB Controversial efforts to eliminate tuberculosis (TB) in cattle are likely to fail unless there's greater urgency and funding from the government, scientists have warned.

Over 230,000 Badgers Killed for Nothing: DEFRA Review Confirms the Real Cause of TB The government has just published the new Bovine TB strategy review, led yet again by Professor Charles Godfray.

The government has just published the new Bovine TB strategy review, led yet again by Professor Charles Godfray. And while it makes some positive noises about more cattle testing and using the gamma interferon blood test, the whole thing lacks ambition.

'For years we’ve been told killing badgers was "necessary" to tackle Bovine TB. More than 230,000 badgers have been shot since 2013. Now even the government’s own review admits the real causes are inadequate testing, cattle movements, and poor farm biosecurity.'

Shame on Oxford University for continuing to push the narrative that Badger culling works in tackling bovine TB

When is Jeremy Clarkson going to finally admit that badger culling isn’t working?

The real issue with bovine TB lies in shoddy testing and poor farm biosecurity, not in blaming wildlife.

Seeing a Turtle Dove in the UK is always a treat, although checking for leg rings from half-arsed reintroductions tempers the thrill slightly... This bird at St Brides, Pembrokeshire, today thankfully seemed to be ringless #BirdingWales

YouTube video by UK Parliament E-petition debate relating to Bovine Tuberculosis control & badger culling - Monday 13 October 2025.

STOP PRESS!! The Westminster badger cull debate is currently taking place right now - are you watching???????
available to view at www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4cj...

Natural England ignored its own science and approved more badger culls—now it’s heading to court. A judge has granted a legal challenge over the 2024 licences, which defied expert advice. This could finally hold them to account.

We have just built a new video so people can hear what a badger sounds like when it is chittering ... here is the video so you can all hear what is happening... youtu.be/atjbrORlG5E?... The video explains all; but the link shows where you can get more information on all the calls badgers make.

Did you know #badgers LOVE water? One of our cubs decided to cool off in the pool. The message from our cubs is Stay Cool! 😎

Please ensure wildlife has constant access to water in hot weather
