Extractions: Badgers Lancashire has a large number of badger setts. Unfortunately, this brings with it the problem of badger diggers and other badger-related offences such as "illegal blocking of setts". "Diggers" - as they are called - usually use a small terrier-type dog, fitted with a locator collar. The dog is put down the sett and looks for a badger. Once a badger is located, a signal is transmitted back to the "digger", who then knows where to dig. The badger may be baited at the scene or taken away and entered to fight in an illegal event. Badgers and their setts are protected. It is illegal to: Anyone found guilty of any of these offences could be imprisoned for six months or fined £5,000. You can help protect badgers in the county by calling the Lancashire Badger Group on 0345-413394. Birds ALL birds (their eggs and nests) are protected SOME of the time. SOME birds are protected ALL of the time. For example, a Golden Eagle is given full protection all the time, but a pheasant - which is known as a game bird - may be legally shot in the open season, but is protected in the closed season between 1 February and 31 September.

Extractions: Although badgers are perceived to be one of Britain's best loved animals, the sad truth is that they have been persecuted by man for centuries. Shy creatures, they avoid contact with people and are seldom seen, living in underground setts and only emerging at night to feed. London and its surrounding countryside has its own badger population so crime against the animal is very much a concern of the Metropolitan Police Service. Because they are nocturnal animals, they are particularly vulnerable to disturbance in their setts during the day. Recent years have seen an upsurge in the old practices of badger digging and baiting. Badger baiting is a crime Badger diggers use dogs and spades to get badgers form their setts. The captured badgers are then attacked by dogs for "sport". Even if the badger survives the attack, it is likely to have suffered severe injuries and will ultimately be killed by the diggers. The dogs often receive serious injuries as well. Badger baiting, like cock fighting, used to be a popular spectator sport. It was made illegal n 1835 but probably never died out in some country areas and has become more common in the last 20 years or so. It is a highly organised contest, usually held away from the sett, sometimes in towns or cities like London. At a baiting event spectators bet on the performance of the dogs against the badger, which is often disabled in some way before the baiting to give the dogs a better chance. In some parts of the country the badger population has been almost destroyed by the activities of diggers and baiters.

All I need from you is a CLEAR photo of your pet dog, cat, or any other pet, person or place, to create a unique and special gift. If you do not have any clear, close up photos of your pet, take some NOW. If your pet has sadly died and it is too late to take any clear photos I will willingly look at your photo and let you know if it is clear enough. I love my pet portrait work, but one of the saddest aspects is where an old pet has died and the owner has no clear photo to remember their friend by, or, indeed, to create a pet portrait memorial to their lost one. So take those pictures now, even if you do not yet decide on a painting of your pet. The happiest aspect of my work is when my client has received their pet portrait and telephone or write to let me know how delighted they are in spite of the tears over their lost friend. I have so many lovely letters telling me how the portrait of their pet is now taking pride of place in their home, and how they feel their pet's spirit is still with them whenever they gaze at the painting. So do not hesitate. Order your pet portrait painting today. You will be so glad you did.

http://www.wirral.gov.uk/er/unit.htm

Extractions: The Wildlife Rehabilitation Unit was formed in 1983 by Malcolm Ingham when he was a Ranger at Wirral Country Park. Initially, Malcolm ran the Unit in his spare time, helped by his wife Ann, a veterinary nurse. Eventually, the work of the Unit became widely known. As a result of this, the number and variety of animals brought to the Unit increased to the extent that additional funding was provided by the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. Over the past eight years the Unit has handled over one thousand sick and injured animals, including ninety species of birds. The Unit is not a sanctuary, but a place where wildlife can be nursed back to health, with the ultimate aim of returning them to the wild. The Unit is licensed by the Department of the Environment to care for and return all native species of birds of prey to the wild. Some of the birds of prey at the Unit are captive bred, and trained to free fly for educational and demonstration work. The barn owl is one of our most endangered native species. This beautiful owl has suffered tremendously over the past 30 years, mainly through the loss of hunting habitat and traditional roost and nest sites.

Extractions: Badger ( Taxidea taxus This muscular, grizzled, brownish gray, long haired member of the weasel family are found principally in upland grasslands, such as meadows and hayfields. Its black face is bisected by a narrow, white stripe extending to the tip of a slightly pointed black nose. This nocturnal hunting carnivore sports a short, flattened, rudder like tail and stubby legs, ending in pebbly black feet and front toes tipped with long, stout, curved, sharp nails and has a wide flat appearance. Badgers may reach 2.5 feet in length and 30 pounds in weight. Badgers are amazingly adept at burrowing. In soft soils, adults use their claws and teeth to move aside obstacles like a steam shovel, digging themselves into the ground and out of sight in a few minutes. Their dens may occupy old enlarged fox, coyote or woodchuck holes or newly dug, deep burrows up to 60 feet long. Badgers prefer hunting in grassy openings. They consume a variety of prey such as mice, voles, chipmunks, ground squirrels, skunks, snakes, eggs and ground nesting birds. Carrion rounds out their diet. Some kills may be buried for later consumption. When challenged or frightened, they will release a musky, skunk like scent. Courageous and territorial, badgers will attack if cornered. Other predators have difficulty grabbing this strong animal because it has a set of dense muscles forming a hidden protective collar around its neck and throat.

Extractions: news headlines About Wildlife Aid CT the Badger In May 1998, we were approached by the charity Wildlife Aid requesting advice on a Badger cub. This 10 week old cub had been found asleep under a tree by a member of the public who then took her to the Wildlife Aid Centre. The staff at the centre suspected that the cub may be suffering from 'hydrocephalus' and had arranged for her to have a brain scan at St Anthony's Hospital in Cheam. Our Neurologist was approached to examine the scans. The scans confirmed that 'CT' (named after the CT brain scanner) did indeed have hydrocephalus. This is a very serious condition; without surgery, CT's chances of survival were non-existent. Such surgery is however rarely performed on animals - and has never, to our knowledge, been carried out on a badger. We set about arranging treatment to ensure the best possible chances of survival for CT. The Consultant Paediatric Neurologist from Atkinson and Morley Hospital already had close links with Stone Lion Veterinary Centre, and volunteered his expertise in assisting our own Veterinary Neurologist, Clare Rusbridge, when she operated on CT. The surgery involved an 'endoscopic third ventriculostomy' - a procedure which is commonly carried out in human medicine.

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/wildlifecrossings/badger.htm

Extractions: Badgers live in families in a maze of underground tunnels and chambers called a "set." Some sets are hundreds of years old. Badgers are nocturnal animals, foraging for food at night along hedges and wooded banks. Their favorite foods are mice, slugs, insects, and earthworms. Although they can live to age 14, badgers often die or are killed at a younger age. Urbanization and agriculture can threaten the long-term survival of the species, since badgers adapt poorly to change once their sets are disturbed and they are forced to move. U ntil the 1990s, 20 percent of the badger population in the Netherlands were killed every year on the country's highways. As their habitats were destroyed - for example, by intensive farming - the animals had fewer places to live and no easily-available food. When they ventured away from their sets to hunt for food, they often had to cross roads, where they were usually killed. This badger tunnel under A73
