There's lots to be said on the subject of badgers... Bottom line: they are big, heavy and when you hit them with your car it gets expensive...
Badgers are also black, white, grey and every shade of shitty brown you can think of. Nasty filthy little buggers. Sometimes they find a nice house, your house maybe, and decide to live under it. In bad cases they breed there and if it's really bad... they may get the idea to die there as well.
A dead mouse in the wall stinks for a week. A dead badger is 10.000 times heavier than a dead mouse. Figure the rest out yourself. If you're smart you try to get the badger out of the house before it passes on... Good luck!
In the wild they are nice enough tho!
