The solution to getting rid of vermin isnt to put down more poison , but to remove the rotting rubbish that attracts them .

The Red Riding Trilogy

Red Riding is a trilogy of movies based on a quartet of novels by David Peace. The books (and films) are fictionalized accounts of the investigation into the Yorkshire Ripper, a brutal serial killer that stalked the Yorkshire area of England in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

A horror flick CREEP

Creep (2004) is a British slasher film directed by Christopher Smith, starring the German actress Franka

Potente . Potente plays Kate, a student who is trapped overnight on the London Underground after

missing the last train. Two sewage workers, Arthur and George, discover an unknown tunnel in the

sewers beneath London, and we see them attacked by some unknown horror. The film then follows

Kate, a popular German student living in London, as she travel between parties. Intending to catch

the tube, she falls asleep on the platform at Charing Cross and misses the last train. Though finding

that the station has been closed for the night and that she is locked inside, she sees a train pulling

into the station. On board, she encounters Guy, an unwanted acquaintance from the last party.

When he attempts to rape her, something pulls him out of the train's door and brutally attacks him.

The film then follows Kate's attempt to escape from the underground and the hideous 'Creep' of

the title (Sean Harris). Along the way she is helped by a homeless couple, Jimmy and Mandy, who

spend their nights sleeping in the station, and by George, who has been captured by the killer

for food.

Heres one for all the casual Robin Hood scholars - the site known as Robin Hoods Grave is in the

wrong place .though it is within the same Parish that of St Peters m the crumbling victorian

monument was an attempt by the Armitage clan to generate cash from tourism - pretty much the

way Nottingham has . Remember it was the Armitages who raised looted raped & murdered the

nuns back in the good old Church of England days - they even plundered the stone to build their

own stately home , with the blessing of Henry V111 . So after they stole the estate & its trappings -

& dealt the death blows to the traditional "religion" (Catholocism) they went further into the field

of conspiracy by ageing the grave by 100 years "raised antiquity" this is easily proven as I have

no doubts at all that the Robin Hood of legend was a 14th Century soul of a religion loosely based

on what has evolved into the Catholic faith . It is known by some that the actual burial site of the

geste can only have been somewhere in the field adjacent to the Gatehouse . During the English

civil war bodies were exhumed & reburied on consecrated ground - in the churchyard - probably

because of looters very little remained even then of the original headstone , however surprisingly

a piece of this very stone survives to this day - somewhere upon the hillside . I know where but

Im unwilling to make that knowlege public - after all it has remained reasonably intact for about

400 years - most of the damage being done before the reign of Henry .

EMERGENCY HOTLINE - 07968400865 -

A recent attack on a badger sett in the Holme Valley - is the worst I have seen in all my years with the Kirklees-Badger-Protection-Group . The incident was carried out at the most heartless time - as the sows would be suckling month old cubs .The scene was horrific by any standards and sickened everybody who investigated the crime-scene . Small dogs with radio collars are shoved into the sett , where they confront the occupant . When the beeping signal stops moving , the badger is cornered & is quickly dug out with spades .
Using graspers ,or home made tools , the terrified badger is removed from its home . These sub-humans then decide how they want to kill the beautiful slinky mammal - often the badger is nailed by its tail to a tree & the terriers are set upon it . The carnage at this sett indicates an horrific bloody struggle the exact details impossible to tell & hard to imagine , there was so much blood over such a large area . The perpetrators of this like to film these shocking events to show their friends what fun they had - it then appears on youtube , where even more sick individuals seem to enjoy this Despicable torture - If this incident upsets you - you have two choices . Ignore it and hope it goes away - or do something .
HERES HOW YOU CAN HELP . its really easy
Tell us of any badgers you may have seen - (sometimes cats dogs , even hares get reported to us - but we will cheerfully follow up all genuine reports .) If you see anything even slightly suspicious or out of the ordinary , in the park , the woods or maybe your own garden . The KBPG are committed to treat all information in confidence .
No matter how irrelevant it may seem - this could mean life or cruel death to a poor Badger ,

In light of the recent incident in the Holme Valley - we are in need of more recruits though the group has many members , most are older & less mobile than myself If you know of a sett anywhere in Kirklees , specially if its close to your home , we would love to hear from you - if you feel you can spend a few hours a week trudging round some of our less well mapped areas to gather data or if you have never seen a badger & live anywhere in or around Huddersfield email us The group will be happy to show you exactly how to study badgers.

We are in urgent need of local dog-walkers ramblers, gardeners , schools in fact anyone who notices anything interesting or out of the ordinary. help us prevent arcane , blood fights in the Kirklees badger area , & promote a general awareness of simple evidence gathering methods , bet you we can pin a brock pretty much anywhere

Our Aims
THE OBJECTIVES

To encourage the understanding and study of badgers.
To promote measures which will enhance their welfare.
To encourage tolerance, appreciation and respect for all wildlife and their habitat.

What We Do
HELP BADGERS

Badger diggers and baitors.

Road traffic accidents.

Loss of habitat caused by development.

In order to counteract some of these events Kirklees Badger Protection Group has built up a strong network of organisations and individuals who help and support us with our work. These include the Police and the RSPCA with whom we work in cases of suspected illegal activity, English Nature who give licences to work on or near a badger sett in order to protect it, and Kirklees Metropolitan Council with whome we have close links in connection with planning and forestry work.

We are members of the National Federation of Badger Groups, which represents us at national level and is a central organisation for information and research. We are also members of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust that helps to maintain our contacts with all aspects of conservation.
Each sett is recorded and a monitor appointed. The monitor visits the sett regularly and records the findings. These records may be used by the police if there was a prosecution. There is much survey work to be done in the Kirklees area in order for the Group to record and monitor as many setts as possible.
We have a Rehabilitation Pen in order to house any injured badgers, although few animals survive a road traffic accident. Apart from these practical aspects of our work, we try to publicise the threats to the badger and inform the general public about the activities of the Group. In order to do this we attend local agricultural shows and other events during the Summer. This enables us to meet the public and gives us the opportunity to raise some much needed funds.

PROTECTION OF BADGERS AND THEIR SETTS

Unscrupulous men will take a badger by digging its sett and locating the badger underground by using a terrier with a radio collar on. The badger is then dug out and killed or taken to be baited. Others take badgers by LAMPING. The badger is caught in a strong beam of light and a large lurcher type dog is released to run it down. The badger cannot defend itself against such large dogs.

Our monitors are out at different hours of the day and night to keep check on these activities.
