It Is Said About Badgers Poem by Francis Duggan

It is said about badgers that they harbor T B
That they spread to cattle though with that some disagree
The reason many badgers have died due to gassing in their sett
Human cruelty to wildlife is always a cause for regret
For the decline of many wild born species of blame humans must take some share
Badgers in their range now by all accounts rare
Such beautiful creatures from the lamp of day
In their underground homes they sleep hidden away
From their only enemies humans and their dogs from their experiences they know
That to badger kind some humans mercy never show
The praises of human achievements some may like to sing
But the cruelty of some humans to wildlife is a shameful thing
And that badgers in their range are becoming rarer by the year
To say the least is quite a sad news to hear.
