Wrong badger? You might mean the Honey badger?
Honey badgers are indestructible, regular badgers are vicious little murder machines that spread bovine tuberculosis
Is there much difference between the North American and English badgers?
I used to play a game with North American badgers.
Badger tag, first carry a baseball bat then find a badger. Badgers are aggressive enough that they will chase you, but if you spin around and scream while waving the bat, the badger will turn and run, and you can chase it. The badger will then realize that it has teeth and claws and an attitude problem, and it will turn around and start chasing you again.
Keep this up as long as you want, or until you have to hit it with the bat so you can really run away.
English badgers are a protected species with huge fines for messing with either their habitat or them, regardless of how much tuberculosis they give your cows by randomly biting them.
Good. Golf is a sport for rich twats that uses way too much mains drinking water
Because it's class warfare and badgers are on the side of the working class 🦡✊
OH NO, not golf courses!!!
Should be in uplifting news.
'ate golf. Luv badgers.
Simple as
"Because fuck you, that's why" - badgers
That’ll teach them for filling the bunkers with powdered mash potato.
Won't somebody please think of the rich white people! How will they cope without their golf!
Play disc golf instead. Courses are generally already mininally maintained by parks departments as walking/hiking trails.
It's day there's much room for A badger, badger, badger Badger, badger, badger, badger Badger, badger, badger, badger
Maybe a mushroom mushroom?
Never mind that, get them ready for the parade! There’s no time to lose!
