Betty Badger goes to London Town

I am Betty Badger and today I went to London to meet the Prime Minister at Downing Street where she has a very nice sett, or house as she calls it.  Her sett has lots of blue Humans in

peaked hats surrounding it, carrying big sticks and they growl at you if you try to get to visit her house. She must be very important.

Unfortunately the PM Mrs May was not at home.  She was busy in Europe where she was talking about something called Brexit.   British Humans spend a lot of time worrying about Brexit, so much so that they forget to mention that they are killing thousands of Badgers at the moment.  

I wanted to tell Mrs May that her friends are making Badgers very unhappy.  My husband Brian was caught in a trap and died with a big flash and a bang three days ago.  I cried for a day, but life has to go on and rather than wallowing in tears I thought I would go and find out what is going on. 
 

I met lots of Humans who wanted to have their photo taken with me outside Downing Street.  These Humans, called Tourists, came from all around the world and were all different shapes, sizes and colours and spoke in different ways.  The little humans were all very excited to see me and they called me "cute".  I felt like quite a celebrity. Some Humans even offered me money- but that's no use to me.  Now, it they had offered me peanuts that would have made my day.

I met a nice Lady who shook my hand and told me she was on my side.  She told me about a lovely Human called Chris Packham who is trying to stop Humans with flash-bang sticks from killing my friends and family. She told me to write a BLog which is short for Badger Log.

So this is it: an old Badger's first attempt to write a BLog.  I hope I might make some Human friends who will help to save Badger lives
