Badgers butchered as brute ignorance returns to England’s fields

Badgers butchered as brute ignorance returns to England’s fields

Hey everyone, it’s time to forget science (again/still) and go back to feeding the earth with blood in some weird anti-science ritual to assuage evil spirits – yes, it’s badger cull time again! The usual, and some unexpected (so we hear), culprits are out wasting money on wasting badgers in the countryside blood cult. (more…)

#canthecull Day 29 of #sophys30badgers The Government granted permission for Badgers to be culled in parts of Southern Britain because it is believed there is a link between badgers carrying TB (tuberculosis) and infecting cattle with it. For which there is very little evidence to support this claim. Ban Fox Hunting ooh, then introduce Badger culling! No! Stop killing Badgers and other animals, trees & plants because we'll have none left eventually... Let's not make a repeat of the last White Rhino... #endofaspecies (see earlier post).😢 . . . . . . #sophynixon #sophydrawswhileclaudesnores #loveourplanet #savewildlife #conservationmatters #lovebadgers #stopkillingbadgers #savethebadgers #badgersareawesome #wildlifetrust #badgertrust #lovewildlife #savetheearth #blueplanet #animalshavefeelingstoo

Badger Funeral*😢 Day 18 of #sophys30badgers *there is no scientific evidence to prove that badgers actually have funerals. However, some anecdotal accounts have recalled badgers sitting over dead badgers appearing to mourn, one account is of a badger cub placed in a hole with leaves laid on top of it. Another story recalls badger skeletons found in the walls of an old sett. Badger Funerals? Why not? Dogs mourn the passing of their owners and fellow canine companions. Science can't prove everything and that's okay by me. 🤗 . . . . . . #sophynixon #sophydrawswhileclaudesnores #30badgers #30badgersin30days #almostthere #drawchallenge #drawingmarathon #badgerfuneral #badgersareawesome #badgertrust #badgersrule #lovebadgers #canthecull #stopkillingbadgers #copic #copicillustration #copicciao #copicmarker #fivecolourdrawing

Embryonic Diapause in Badgers: Day 17 of #sophys30badgers Badgers are pretty amazing animals! The science bit: Embryonic diapause or delayed implantation is basically an awesome method of birth control 😂 The cells float around inside the uterus and grow really slowly. They can stay floating around for 2 - 10 months. When the conditions are right e.g. the weather is good and there's plenty food around. Then later on out pops a baby badger or a few baby badgers. Whaaaahhh! Whaaahhh! So badgers can mate any time they like and decide when to give birth! Incredible! I'm no scientist, so if something is incorrect, pls let me know! 🤔 Got the info from the #badgertrustwebsite you'll like this one @pengers1402 . . . . . . . #sophynixon #sophydrawswhileclaudesnores #30badgers #30badgersin30days #lovebadgers #canthecull #badgertrust #badgersareawesome #sciencestuff #weirdscience #illustration #wildlife #badgerfacts #copicart #copicmarkers
