Badgers have no natural predator, except possibly the motor car,” farming minister David Heath recently declared, as he bemoaned Britain’s rising badger population. Now the nation’s first-ever roadkill survey has confirmed his opinion that fast-moving vehicles are proving effective badger-culling machines.
so the government is using the growing population as a way of culling badgers I don't know how i feel about this they do spred tb so that's a problem and letting the cars do the work dose save money but at the same time would it not be more afective to sort out the problems of tb rather than just killing them.
