Dan Belton ( No Badger Cull ) In Memoriam
Torture
Torture for them and me, they're not getting any better in fact they seem to be getting worse, this is the healthiest one, I'm too ashamed to show you the others. I saw all four together tonight and a sorry sight they were, I've used two whole bottles of the homeopathic treatment over most of the summer, I appreciate it's worked with other people but you can see it's not working here. I've put off getting the medicine a friend recommended for a couple of weeks, I assume it's Ivermectin although it doesn't say on the website. It comes in honey sandwiches which they say dogs don't eat, several people on flickr said their dogs love honey though ! I'll have to give it them late at night when there's noone else around, it can poison cats and apparently collie type dogs, obviously that would be a nightmare. I'm pretty certain cats won't eat honey but I'll have to find out whether it's harmful to badgers. As with the stuff I've been using though there's no way of making sure all of them get any, it's driving me crazy seeing them like this every night, it will cost this charity a fortune if I need four lots of it, although obviously I'll donate the amount it comes to. It will probably seem to some that it would be less hassle to trap them and treat them but even if they weren't put down they wouldn't have a home to return to, and whoever did it would probably end up catching a whole family of badgers in the process......aggggghhhh !!!
PS on a more positive note I think I've fallen in love with these bengal cross kittens :

The ragdoll kittens weren't an option sadly because they're proper indoor cats, can't believe my sister said they're the equivalent of those miniature dogs celebrities carry about in their handbags.......
