Secret
World is the world's most extraordinary badger and wildlife
charities. Run by
Pauline Kidner and helped and supported by a large number of
highly committed staff and volunteers,
Secret World do the difficult
job of rescuing dozens of orphaned and injured badger cubs every year.
These badger cubs are hand-fed in the spring and summer and assembled
into new badger families for release in the autumn every year.
Importantly, these new badger families now need to be released into suitable sites in the countryside across the UK. The release sites need to be suitable for the badgers to live in and the landowner must be sympathetic towards badgers. Of course, the badgers go through rigorous testing and healthcare program to make sure they are completely healthy. All badgers released by Secret World are proven to be free of the bTB infection.
At the time of writing,
Secret World are desperately short of suitable release sites, which is a grave
concern to the people who have worked so hard to hand-rear these cubs.
If you are aware of any suitable sites, please contact Andy at Secret World.
They will then come and look at the site to see if it is suitable for badgers to
be returned to the wild.
