Last weekend we drove to Germany again, on our way there we drive through Belgium and there I saw a dead badger by the side of the highway.
I never saw a badger in real or alive for that matter.
I think they are beautiful animals , animals we should protect before it's too late.
Well it inspired me to make a cub and the more photo's I saw on the internet the more I love them and the more I was shocked to see how they are persecuted.
I'll put a link here so if you want you can read about the efforts some groups make to protect this beautiful creature.

P.s. To the people who live at the East coast in the States: You will be in my thoughts this weekend
I love Badgers Helen, such beautiful creatures. It always makes me so sad to see one dead at the side of the road, this year I have seen quite a few.
ReplyDeleteYour little badger has such a cute wee face.
Oh Helen, your badger is so adorable. I know just what you are saying, people are so misinformed on many things in nature. What my father taught me was that everything has a place on this earth and is here for some reason. To disrupt that is ruining the balance of nature. Bravo for helping people see that through your lovely little badger. :)
ReplyDeleteYour badger is adorable! I have never seen one in real life either.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad that humans would try to obliterate a species. When animals become extinct, it impacts the entire world.
Barby, Carolyn, thank you for your lovely comments and yes you are both so right !
ReplyDeleteOh i like your work, wondefull
ReplyDeleteIch liebe deine Werke, sie sind so realistisch und einmalig. Schaue immer wieder gern hier vorbei, weiter so damit wir noch viele tolle Wesen zu sehen bekommen.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland von den DBears

ReplyDeleteBelka: спасибо :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I love your dear sweet little Badger. I have never seen a real one but grew to love them through the Fantasy stories of Brian Jacques!
ReplyDeleteHe's absolutely beautiful Helen. I have never seen one either, I am not sure if there are many in Scotland, but I know there are lots in England so I'd imagine there are some here as well!
ReplyDeleteApril: thanks! I've checked Brian Jaques and I'm definitely going to find out more about him!
ReplyDeleteSharon, you are from Scotland ? Wow, I love Scotland! And I'm sure there are badgers there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet beautiful face you have given your badger friend. Makes him look not at all menacing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanne :-)
