DURING OUR RESEARCH and preparatory work for this week’s slideshow (it’s serious journalistic business, you know), we discovered that the badger has not only been described as the most fearless mammal on the planet, but it can also be called the Chuck Norris of the animal kingdom.
Is there a greater argument for making it the subject of our Friday gallery?
So, ladies and gentlemen, The Daily Edge presents the badger…it may not be that cute, but darn it, it’s hardy.
And if anyone was doubting the claims that the honey badger = Chuck Norris, take three minutes out to watch this extract from The Gods Must Be Crazy 2:

Yes obviously not Irish badgers because they are ALIVE.
Badger culling….just another ploy to keep farmers happy and publc servants in handy outdoor jobs with probably a wellie allowance.
Not just dragging the PS into this for any old reason. Millions have been spent culling badgers by who???? The Dept of Agriculture staffed by who???….non other than public servants.
Badger culling is a bit like the war on drugs just in this case the government spends a crapload of money killing healthy native animals at the behest of the farming lobby and sees little or no succes in reducing bovine TB rates.
If badger culling ends who are the losers….Dept. of Agriculture employees in other words fcuking public servants.
So the public service have a vested interest in killng badgers just like the gardai , the customes and the naval service have a vested interest in keeping drugs illegial….that’s all I’m saying.
Prime example no.1
