Cat on wall

A classic pose for a cat; classic shot for an urban photographer

Cat loving nation

The English are an animal loving nation, so they say. This sign on a back-road in Alrewas seems to prove the point!

Incidentally, and sadly, the amount of badgers which get knocked down on Staffordshire's rural roads is phenomenal. Such road-kill is a common sight.
Is it because badgers are too lumbering and slow for traffic to avoid them? Or is it because farmers (most of whom hate badgers) gun for them as soon as they see them?
