Gosport resident (Hampshire, UK) Hannah Carver has been trying for a long time to fight a badger that frequented her house to feast on the contents of her refrigerator.
Waking up one morning, Hannah found her kitchen in a terrible mess: the contents of the garbage can were scattered on the floor, the refrigerator was open, and most of the food from it turned into leftovers left by an unknown “criminal”. As it turned out later, the “night thief” was a badger. The hostess managed to find out only after installing a security camera in the kitchen. An uninvited guest with the onset of night made his way through the hole for the cat into the house and ate delicious treats from the refrigerator to the fullest.
The animal was not at all picky about food. It ate almost everything that came in its path: beans, chops, vegetables, mashed potatoes and even ice cream. But this is not surprising, because badgers are omnivores, so they don’t go overboard with food.
With her problem, Hannah decided to go to the Gosport city council. But the officials could not help her in any way, since the badger is a protected species and is listed in the Red Book. Therefore, the hostess had to solve the problem on her own: she installed special locks on the refrigerator, and began to clean the trash can away for the night.
Hanna is counting on the badger to soon realize that food is no longer available and stop coming into her house. Although the animal is not at all aggressive towards humans, the owner still does not want her kids or pets to meet an uninvited guest in the middle of the night one day.
