I know there are tunnels but that doesn’t take away from the fact that every badger I’ve ever seen was squished on tarmac. It ruins Wind In The Willows for me.

Thanks. Monga Bay is a legit environmental news organization. They do a lot of investigative journalism and put out some really great stories. They deserve every bit of attention they can get.
