Badgers Come Too
John had caught a lot of different animals as a trapper. He found that often the smaller animals were actually even more aggressive than the larger ones. When he caught an American badger, he knew that he had to be very careful because they are fearless and can be dangerous. They even fight black bears!
The True Pest
Badgers are dangerous to pets, farm animals, and the farms themselves too. Their sharp teeth and claws make them so ferocious. They are pretty common in Wisconsin, so John is well aware of their aggressive nature. There are special badger traps that trappers use to keep the population under control.
