And just in case someone's interested in trying
Badger, but concerned about possessing
Badger parts, I'll quote the relevant legislation;
"(3) A person is guilty of an offence if, except as permitted by or under this Act, he has in his possession or under his control any dead
Badger or any part of, or anything derived from, a dead
Badger.
(4)
A person is not guilty of an offence under subsection (3) above if he shows that—
(a)
the Badger had not been killed, or
had been killed otherwise than in contravention of the provisions of this Act or of the [1973 c. 57.] Badgers Act 1973"
There is however a slight risk of TB. I'm not sure how great the risk is, or if thoroughly cooking the meat kills the bacteria, but you've been warned!
Also, I might add, collecting roadkill can present its own hazzards from diseased animals through to traffic accidents, but as shooting, snaring and killing with dogs are not legal, RTA's are the only option left if you want roast
Badger.
