61. Wildlife: Badger Neighbor
    Hi, Like all wild animals, badgers need to be respected and given some space.If the kids and the dog leave it alone, it should leave them alone too.  
    http://experts.about.com/q/2507/1449818.htm
    
    Extractions: It is very beneficial to have badgers and other preditors to keep all the rodents, rabbits, etc. in check. If you can accept and respect the badger's presence, I would just leave it alone. Don't feed it, just maintain a reasonable distance and train the children and dog to do the same. Also, don't let the dog run loose. Terriers will instinctively chase other animals and will most likely follow the badger right into the den. If the badger and dog fight, the dog will lose.

    Extractions: February 2, 2005 CSWAB UPDATE: Residual Contaminants Threaten BAAP Wildlife A new report released today challenges more than a dozen Army proposals to weaken cleanup goals at the closing Badger Army Ammunition Plant – a move that could save the military tens of millions of dollars in cleanup costs but would leave higher levels of ecological toxins in the environment. Concerned about the potential long-term risks to the local ecology, CSWAB hired noted wildlife toxicologist Dr. Peter deFur to comment on an Army study that suggests soil contaminant levels at Badger do not pose a risk to wildlife. DeFur, an Affiliate Associate Professor in the Center for Environmental Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University and President of Environmental Stewardship Concepts, concluded that the Army’s assessment is flawed and fails to show that the cleanup goals previously approved by the WDNR and USEPA are inappropriate. “The document does little to accurately determine the risks to wildlife in and around Badger,” deFur said. “The report fails to evaluate the potential effects of organic compounds such as nitroglycerin and dinitrotoluene.”

    Extractions: Welcome! Citizens for Safe Water Around Badger was organized in 1990 when the community learned private drinking water wells near Wisconsin's Badger Army Ammunition Plant were polluted with high levels of cancer causing chemicals. The founders believed community involvement could have prevented this tragedy and consequently organized CSWAB both to empower and to protect nearby residents and plant workers from further harm. Please sign and mail the Petition for Prairie ACTION ALERT: Stop the Army's Plan To Burn PCBs 15 YEARS AGO TODAY ROAD OIL AT BADGER AAP ... HIGH MERCURY FOUND NEAR BADGER PLANT Since 1990, CSWAB has worked to build a strong, sustainable future for the prairie now occupied by Badger. The closing Army base lies primarily on the terrain of the former Sauk Prairie sixteen remnants of natural communities including prairie, oak savanna, dry forest, southern hardwood swamp and sandy meadow have been identified. Today, fewer than 5,000 acres of prairie remains in the entire State of Wisconsin, less than 0.2% of the 2.1 million acres Europeans found here. At the same time, the Pentagon has abandoned its commitment to a complete cleanup at Badger; faced with dwindling cleanup dollars, it has targeted its most expensive cleanups. Environmental cleanup of the 7,400-acre Badger Army Ammunition Plant will be the largest such project in the history of the State of Wisconsin; expected remediation costs may be as high as $250 million.

    Sussex wildlife Trust is a local conservation charity which is Taking Care of Sussex wildlife Trust owned nature reserves to carry out badger culling.  
    http://www.sussexwt.org.uk/badger_tb.htm
    
    Extractions: Position statement on badger culling and bovine tuberculosis in cattle Badgers are a well-known symbol of the British countryside. They tend to be most common in the sort of countryside that many people find attractive and have public resonance as indicators of a healthy, functioning countryside. It is for this reason that they are the logo of the Wildlife Trusts. There is a suspected link between bovine tuberculosis in cattle and badgers. In spite of the fact that years of culling have not reduced TB this link is still suspected. The Krebs report now proposes a large-scale experiment that aims to establish whether there is any link. In this three types of trial area will be compared, one where no culling takes place, one where culling takes place on request from farmers and one where all badgers are killed. The experiment would run for 5 years. The government has accepted this proposal and a trial has started in the West Country. No trial culls are in operation in East or West Sussex at present, but the SWT has major concerns about the experiment and has adopted the following policy:

    Irish wildlife Trust a registered charity for the protection and promotion The badger is a protected species, it and its setts, are protected by law.  
    http://www.iwt.ie/badger_snare.php
    
    Extractions: Minister Joe Walsh's department is continuing to exterminate tens of thousands of badgers in the Irish countryside in the mistaken belief that this will somehow reduce the incidence of bovine TB. The Irish Wildlife Trust calls on the Minister to immediately halt this senseless cruelty where badgers are snared and then shot. Incidentally, the government does not call these wires 'snares'; it calls them "body restraint devices" in order to hide the cruelty involved. Eighty percent of these badgers are healthy animals. To date, over the last ten years, over 43,000 badgers have been snared and executed and this does not include the figures for 2003 as they are not available. At present, a total of seventy five personnel are in the department's employment as badger trappers and killers. The badger is a protected species, it and its setts, are protected by law. The removal of badger colonies, in a similar scheme in the UK called Krebs, has recently been stopped as it was shown to actually increase the incidence of bovine TB in the areas where badgers were removed. Why then is the Irish government intent on proceeding with the same policy in this country? The British study showed that TB rose by 27% where the badgers were exterminated. The badger is and has been a scapegoat for the poor practices in Irish agriculture where poor husbandry; cattle movements, over-stocking etc. has resulted in the spread of TB. The ten-year removal of badgers has had no affect whatsoever on the persistence of TB in this country's cattle herds.

Badgers live in social groups in underground setts where they sleep during the day, only emerging in the evening. They are shy creatures which avoid contact with people, but although they are seldom seen, badgers live in many places in the countryside and in towns. For centuries badgers have been victims of persecution by man, an in the old days, badger baiting was a popular spectator sport. It was made illegal in 1835, but never completely died out and has become more common in the last 20 years or so. Badger diggers use dogs and spades to take badgers from their setts. The captured badgers are then attacked by dogs for “sport” whilst the spectators gamble on the performance of the dogs. Large sums of money are often involved and it is usually the case that those involved in badger baiting are also involved in other serious crime, so the money which they use is often proceeds of crime. Badger baiting is extremely cruel and the badgers suffer severe injuries before they are killed. The dogs are often badly injured as well. It is estimated that 10,000 badgers are killed in baiting contests in Britain every year, and in some parts of the country the badger population has been almost destroyed by the activities of diggers and baiters.

    Extractions: Help to cut the carnage on our roads The R.T.A. Code Every year, tens of thousands of badgers are killed in RTAs (Road Traffic Accidents) on the roads of Britain and other European countries. You may think that there is little that you can do to reduce this carnage. However, there are a host of practical actions that you can take. These actions are summarised in the R.T.A. Code: Please report any dead badgers that you see to the local Badger Group or biological records centre. In Britain, many Badger Groups monitor where, when and in what numbers badgers are being killed on the roads so that they can take action accordingly. Please say which road the badger was on, which side of the road, and if possible how far (and in what direction) it is from the nearest specified road junction, farm, village or other landmark (use your car's mileometer to clock the distance as you travel). For more information, see Reporting sightings and other evidence of badgers If you come across an injured badger on the road, prompt action is essential if its life is to be saved.

Click here for part one of the 2005 Wildlife Diary (January to June) July 2314 a badger arrived and went down one of the tunnels. Soon after a badger came out of a different tunnel (same badger? Who knows!), wandered around and then came towards where I was sitting. Luckily it passed below me, but then went down another sett only ten metres from my position. It came out again and went up the slope and round behind me, but must have caught a whiff of my presence and dashed back down the slope to the sett. I left at that point. On the way home I paused at Loch Roid and took a few flash photos of lapwings flying around in the dark. The roe deer were still shouting as I passed by and I got home at 2345.

    Extractions: Sharp shooters from the Irish Army are on standby to cull or quarantine wildlife (including badgers) in the vicinity of any outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease FMD. Duchas, the National Parks and Wildlife Service will take charge of the emergency containment plan which was drawn up early in March. Wildlife in the vicinity of the infection will be assessed and "appropriate action" taken immediately. We're told that the action, which can take place at the drop of a hat (even faster than it took Duchas to magically change the wire badger snare to a restraining device) will include teams of riflemen from the Army Rangers. While we fully acknowledge the effects of FMD and its consequences, this is drastic action for wildlife who may be caught up in this potential disaster. Dare anyone voice an objection on their behalf. We've seen it and heard it all before. For far too long badgers have been at the wrong end of the .22 rifle for offences not of their making. They will always be the soft target. Our badgers have been listed in the past as possible reservoirs for cattle TB . In the awful event of FMD surfacing in the Irish Republic, will this disease also be added to the list? At the end of the day will we still have the small army of animal smugglers, the removers of ear tags and the perpetrators of the countless scams which appears to have long infested the agri-industry on this island?
