    Ok let's put this in perspective... I invite anyone who can be bothered to read this article, start to finish, http://www.actionbioscience.org/newf...eldredge2.html and take on board the stark truth of who and what is more destructive, vicious and indeed a disease in its own right.

    I find it hard to condemn a species because it hurt 5 people, probably in self defence, because they knock a few bins over and because they carry diseases... Errrr not an animal on the planet doesn't carry diseases

    Remember a few months back how the game bird population was in "serious threat" because of buzzards?? This is what the badger/buzzard debate seems to come down to....

    Other headlines in the same edition of the Huffington post 1,Brazilian Woman Nets $780,000 For Virginity In Internet Auction. well, at least they didn't print the name of the winner of the auction
    2,Amateur Astronomer Captures Clear VIDEO Of Cylindrical UFO. probably the winner of the auction being booted into orbit by his wife
    3,Kidnapping Leaves Man With Severed Penis To Die In Desert. [I]looks like the Brazilian boy friend got to him as well [/I
    Just thought I would try to lighten the debate a little.

    We all know how destructive ALL wild animals are But do they do it for FUN like yobs do err NO.
    I doubt that there is a native wild animal in the UK that would attack without being threatened either knowingly or by accident.
    There are more diseases on the cloth that you clean your kitchen with than animals carry.

    As a matter of interest the Honey Badger is undergoing tests to see if it can provide an all inclusive antivenom for all of africa,s snake bite victims

    As I said before I don't want to upset anyone, cheers Bri

    You need to go careful. I found this on the web.. "Both the Eurasian badger and the honey badger are known to eat fish from time to time."
    I could have a dig around and find where man has been destructive and viscous. I remember reading about someone shooting a shrew for fun with a catapult once..

    • You’ll never be lost if you remember that moss always grows on the north side of your compass.
    • While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.
