Hit and killed a Badger yesterday with my van. Couldn't avoid it. Cried so hard I nearly threw up and haven't slept. Might go and make a peace offering of peanuts to a local sett to try and assuage my awful guilt 😭
It was a young female, thankfully not lactating (so no dependent cubs). Moved her to the verge so nothing else gets hit if they come to scavenge her. I'm just so absolutely mortified (and yes I did my PhD on the danger of roads to wildlife)
