Unban Badgers

never seen a badger unfortunately. would love a sighting of the mash potato eating mustelid.

one thing i miss about glasgow and environs is the urban foxes. otoh in vancouver i have seen skunks and raccoons by the thousands (both v cute, both a nuisance) and even a coyote.

madison WI has or had a popular cab service called Badger Cab with a tormentingly catchy jingle

just call a badgerrrr
BEEP BEEP
rely on badgerrrrr
BEEP BEEP

This fellow is not as hard as he looks aiui, taxi cab theme tune simply confirms that.

Always hope to see a raccoon when we are in the US, never have. I did see a skunk once in Cape Cod. And I saw a chipmunk in Big Bear. Love all these mammals.

Loads of foxes round here, I just saw one an hour ago on the way back from work. It's a tough old world when foxes have to get jobs. Sorry.

raccoons roam around where there is trash in the cities

i saw more than a few family of raccoons when i was a kid in vancouver, canada

No one I know in Wisconsin has ever seen a badger.

Also they're supposed to be dangerous assholes, correct?

The worst thing about urban raccoons is that every raccoon in your neighborhood goes to the bathroom in the same spot. And if that spot they choose happens to be in your yard...well... It's awfully hard to convince them to go elsewhere.

Love 2 c badgers but they're big strong heavy fuckers and don't give off an air of make nice they are the Tony Soprano of the local wildlife around here gimme yr fox anyday always on the make

in my experience, raccoons rarely cause trouble

for the most part i remember being taught to be more lenient and let them do their thing because they would eventually leave and are not harmful

if they became a nuisance we would call the municipality but this never happened in my experience with these little guys

to be honest i always loved the beaver more than any of these other rodents

they're supposed to be dangerous assholes, correct?

if you are seeking out dangerous asshole animals, bypass badgers and go directly to wolverines (aka 'bearcats'). they make badgers look pretty mellow.

badgers and raccoons are not rodents

fair enough but the only thing making raccoons a non-rodent is the lack of incisors

other than that they rummage through your trash and house like rats do

Jesus Christ can we get someone on this....where's gene? GENE!? yeah gene we got a guy here says badgers ain't rodents now gene i want our best men on this we can't afford another rodent misidentification this term

Jesus what a fuckup....badgers ain't rodents illbedamned

the facts matter and words mean things mr chairman

my sincere apologies to the badgers and raccoons of the world
