Why so many dead badgers on the road?

That's all really. Are they less agile, can't see car lights, haven't read the green cross code?

Just drove back roads from near high Wycombe to Shepton mallet and back and we counted 43 with very few other animal road casualties.

A lot look very intact. I did wonder if something sinister was afoot? ( dons tinfoil hat)

It's not unusual for farmers to illegally shoot or gas them, then dump the bodies on the road as a means of disposing of them.

This is what I was thinking but also thought too complex to be worth it.
