Nighttime Trapping - Badgers on a Mission to Save the Herd!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness an extraordinary project aimed at protecting our bovine friends from tuberculosis. The Eurasian Badger, known for its mischievous nature and adorable black-and-white face, takes center stage as it becomes a crucial player in the fight against this infectious disease. Under the cover of darkness in Sussex, England, these nocturnal creatures find themselves caught up in a vaccination scheme like no other. As they explore their surroundings at nightfall, live traps are strategically placed to safely capture them for vaccination purposes. But fear not! These furry vaccinators are not alone on their mission. An informative placard accompanies each trap, shedding light on the importance of this conservation effort. It explains how Mycobacterium bovis (the bacterium responsible for bovine tuberculosis) can be transmitted by badgers and poses a threat to livestock. With determination shining through their bright eyes, these badgers become true heroes as they willingly participate in being vaccinated against this dangerous pathogen. Their efforts contribute to safeguarding both wildlife and domestic animals alike. So next time you spot one of these charismatic carnivores roaming around Sussex's picturesque landscapes during autumn nights, remember that behind those innocent faces lies an army fighting tirelessly to protect our herds from harm – all thanks to the incredible Eurasian Badger Bovine Tuberculosis Vaccination Project!
