Road Kills proper dull me out! & I cant believe the number of road kills on the Uk's roads.

The figures make horrific reading... approximately 50,000 badgers, 100,000 foxes and at least 10 million birds are maimed or killed on our roads each year. With increased road building, habitat loss and speeding traffic ....& the unlimited number of Knobhead boyracers out in their mums cars who think its a laugh to run helpless animals over! (Yeah, you know the ones, cruising the town with their 'music' pumping & hanging outside McD's!) there is no immediate solution, but a number of Wildlife/Animal funds & charities are studying, and looking at measures to protect wildlife on roads.

Before protective measures can be taken extensive research is first necessary and the Mammal Society has launched a nation-wide survey to collate information on road conditions and wildlife casualties. This data will be used to investigate solutions to reduce the high death toll.

The unnecessary killing, cruelty or mistreatment of animals, pets and wildlife is a big NO NO as far as were concerned and something we feel very strongly about. Bear in mind & keep an eye out for our furry (& feathery, scaley..etc) friends when driving, out-and-about!
