Bristol Badger Group DOES Exist -It Just Does Not Pay Badger Trust £50 a year

 



The Badger Trust apparently wants to set up a badger group in Bristol.

My first assumption was that someone had gotten it wrong but then someone else informed me that the Badger Trust was going to set up a Bristol group.

 

To say this is 🤬insulting does not cover it since they have been absolutely no help with badger issues in the area since I set up the Bristol Badger Group. All of the local fighting I've had to do to prevent developers and Bristol City Council destroying badger setts/territories I have had to do alone since all the help I got from the Trust was citing what the law says which I bloody well know. All of the hostile kick-back from stopping the developments I have had to take the brunt off. 

Regular visitors will know from past posts what has been going on –I record all issues here on the blog as well as on the Face Book Bristol Foxes and Badgers Group.

If anyone sees mention of them setting aup a Bristol group please correct the record.

 

For the record I just sent this to the trust:


”Hello.

 

I was informed today that the Badger Trust is intending to set up a badger group in Bristol.

I have been in communication with the trust a number of times over the years and you should be well aware that when the Avon Badger Group folded in 1993 I set up the Bristol Badger Group. We have been monitoring badger setts, rescuing badgers as well as recording badger deaths in the City and County of Bristol. I have also prevented development on badger sett areas -the Trust was informed on these developments and our work. I also pass on badger death reports I receive to Gloucestershire Badger group as well as the Somerset group.

I find it rather insulting that the Trust has decided that it is going to set up a group in this area that Bristol Badger Group has covered for 32 years. We have had email exchanges as well as Face Book Messenger and a couple of phone conversations. How can the Trust not be aware of Bristol Badger Group?
