Our anti-social neighbours'Irish Wolfhounds are much bigger than badgers and
probably far more carnivorous.
Our village is plagued by herds of badgers because many of our neighbours (not
the wolfhound owners) feed them. They eat peanuts and stale bread as well as
dogfood and when someone leaves food containing dustbins out overnight, they
seem to take a great interest in everything they find there.
Thought you-all would just like to know this and it does me good to get it off
my chest.
