Badgers

Creatures during the hours of daylight one seldom does see It is said about badgers that they are carriers of T B That they spread to cattle though others do say That it is cattle infect badgers and not the other way Down the centuries of time at the hands of men and their dogs badgers have suffered their share An example of this is Badger a great poem by John Clare About a badger who was beaten with sticks by people and savaged by their dogs and died in a painful way And sadly poor badgers are suffering and dying at the hands of cruel men every day I have been learning about Nature's creatures since i was a young boy And reading poems and stories about badgers today i enjoy Badgers sleep by day in their sett in the ground They are mostly creatures of the night and in large numbers never abound It is said by some that they infect cattle with T B Though others with this do strongly disagree.
