Letter: Alarmed at number of dead badgers on Shropshire roads

Letter: Can anyone explain the amount of dead badgers I have spotted recently on the roads?

I have seen up to four badgers in the space of a couple of yards.

Usually they can be spotted lying in the hedge or lying together in the road.

This seems to have happened in several areas, namely in Hope Valley, on the road from Priest Weston to Middleton and near Old Churchstoke.

I'm sure there wouldn't be that many badgers knocked down together on the road.

And the badgers wouldn't be able to jump up into the hedge.
