Easy 10 - Your bat collisions

[Publius Ovidius]

I came out of the Gym at Falmer Tuesday night and our worse fears have been realised.

Outside the stadium entrance, there was a DEAD badger which had obviously had an argument with a car ( probably one of the Stadium employees's)and lost!

Why was there not underground tunnels built to take these poor creatures under the road...

It was very upsetting.

 

[Uncle C]

Road kill

I also saw a Lemon Sole in a Brighton restaurant and that looked as though it had been flattened by a car and I bet that was around the Falmer area?

How have the fears of a bat collision been confirmed by the discovery of a dead badger?

 

[Easy 10]

Hmmm. I don't recall badgers ever being mentioned at the Enquiry. Presumably the sandal-flapping eco-warriors do not hold the common badger in such high esteem as the lesser-spotted pipistrel bat (an example of which they never managed to find at Falmer anway). I've driven to the site many times now, and have still yet to experience a vehicle/bat collision, but perhaps these will come about more often during evening games.

Poor badger though. It has my sympathies.

 

[Storer68]

Really. I seem to have dim recall of discussions about badger sets being moved, and access tunnels being provided. But it was all a long time ago

 

[Easy 10]

Maybe there was then. I only attended two or three days worth (and by christ that was enough).

 

[Jesus Gul]

If badgers could fly!...

there may have been a badger/bat collision.

If its trespassing on hallowed ground, it deserved everything it got.

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

was it a complete badger?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Did the dead badger have any bits missing making him an incomplete badger

 

[JJ McClure]

RIP badger

 

[Tricky Dicky]

TB infested rodent.

Worth reflecting that when you see a badger dead by the side of the road, there's a chance it didn't come from the neighbourhood - badgers that are dug and then baited with dogs tend to have their corpses dumped to look pass them off as road kill. Although there are millions of them around the place, so this particular one could well be a NIMBY badger. In which case, obviously, it deserved all it got.

[southwickseagull]

Any mashed potato nearby?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I think we should have a minutes applause before the Hartlepool game for the badger

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

How have the fears of a bat collision been confirmed by the discovery of a dead badger?

Because of the symbiotic relationship between the two, obviously. D'uh!

 

[Gritt23]

a DEAD badger.

No, no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'!
