I think that this quote from the episode applies well, "The more you learn about wildlife, the more you can appreciate..." They were referring to nature and the animal's natural habitat specifically, but I think that this could apply to the animal itself as well. The more we understand wild animals (or domestic, in fact all animals for that matter) the more we can appreciate them/their needs and empathize with them and their deep/complex emotions. Animals, especially wild animals are so subtle in the way the communicate, and the more we humans learn about them the better we can understand them. And, ideally, live in harmony, respecting their territories and lifestyles (ie stop encroaching on their habitats and threatening their existence, and provide them with more alternatives when we do). One day in the future maybe we'll find the perfect balance that allows for humans and nature to coexist and thrive equally.. Hopefully, if it's not too late.

@FarmerFpv

Yes, and they were not experienced they failed Billie the badger. They interacted with her way too much. At our rescue we never let the wild animals imprint on us. We always rotate people and do not have the same person feed the animal every day. We also wear masks. We bottle-feed wild animals with species-correct sock puppets or stuffed animals. We don't hold them like lap dogs or tease them to play with our hands. They failed a second badger as well. Badgers are not hard to release to the wild if you do it correctly. This rescue center should be shut down. Ridiculous to say thank you to them when they purposely fail the badges due to being overly attached to them and forgetting what their job is. This is a problem with many private rescues they are not professionals. They are overly emotional animal lovers who should not be working at a rescue. You have to be a strong person to work at a rescue. She is weak and lets logic go out the window.

Just because this is an animal does not mean it is stupid. This is pretty much how the wolf was turned into the domestic dog breeds that are loved around the world today. Why would this badger want to leave an environment with plenty of food, clean water, housing and plenty of play time without stress of something trying to kill it? This is a very smart badger, that figured it out in one generation. Now it lives the best life. It is the other badgers that stay wild that are not too smart. I have often wondered that very thing about foxes. They must see how dogs are taken care off. You would think a smarter than average fox would figure it out and just start living with a human.

Look up "service gator". There is a gator who is a licensed service animal. I believe almost any species can imprint on humans, given the people are loving and hopefully experienced at training. Bears, large cats, fish, spiders...... when a human is an animal's source of food, and social interaction is similar to a family unit(especially when animals are raised this way from youth), then I am always amazed at what animal can become tamed. When 2 animals that would normally be considered predator and prey come together with a commonallity, then they can build cross-species friendships. Just like people are drawn together by similar interest or life experience, so can animals build bonds. If an animal wants for nothing, then why does it need to become territorial or predatory? Thank you internet for allowing us to share adorable videos of these odd bonds.

We should get it to the point where animals don't need to worry about us, hunting is one thing, but we're natures caretakers, they should be able to rely on us for care rather than fear us because of the bad actors. Animals aren't trophy's, nor do they owe us anything, it's our duty to care for and preserve our planet, so bless people like her.

She’s a great Ambassador animal to show badgers in a very positive light rather than ruthless killers. On the other hand, the fact that you ended up domesticating two of them might be reason to modify your rehab methods before you end up with a farm of “wild” animals. Much respect though for caring enough to take on such an arduous time, energy and learning task of helping your local wildlife.

And the British badgers aren't as aggressive either. I follow a family on Facebook in Britain that has a family of badgers that visits them to eat. They almost can eat out of her hand that's how close they'll get. They even have little tour groups that come over to watch them through the glass patio doors. They're amazing to watch.

Had a lousy day today, this video snapped me out of it...thanks!

I've always enjoyed badgers', "If you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone, but if you mess with me, I will make you wish you were never born," attitude,

"We realized we had not one friendly badger, but two friendly badger" I know the point is to release them into the wild after their rehabilitation, but that has got to be one of the best phases I believe I have ever heard. Amazing animals, and the amazing people looking out for them. Thanks for sharing this video. I needed something to brighten my day, and this was it.

And I know we CAN do it.
