Deer Monitoring and Badger Killings



 Deer Monitoring

We are currently looking at cases of emaciated roe and muntjac deer. They have died quickly and the concern that this might -MIGHT- be CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease) which, as far as we are aware was not in the UK.

Get in touch if you have seen such deer.

This may not be carnivore in topic but as part of the food chain (even as RTA) and how it will affect the environment it is important to monitor.

BADGERS

There is currently a badger cull ongoing in Buckinghamshire despite lack of evidence that they have bovine TB and no cases of cattle TB.

The UK National Carnivore Advisory is totally against these culls and the evidence shows that legally required biohazard precautions are being ignored.

Farmers and Badgers

It has been noted that some farmers are illegally killing badgers and dumping them by the roadside so that to casual observers it looks as though the badger was killed by a car.

Police appear to be sitting on their hands and local police not willing to challenge farmers and others involved.

THAT is how a "protected species" is treated in the UK.

A Pre-Christmas Update

 As I trudge through more fox post mortem reports I am aware that some find that of no interest but at a time when we are seeing fox numbers...
