CRANLEIGH, SURREY, UK: Badger whisperer Neil Longhurst communes with his badger friends. A BADGER whisperer who has dedicated 40-years of his life studying the creatures “will not be held responsible” for his actions over badger cull. Just like the colour of their fur, team leader Neil Longhurst (55) from Cranleigh Surrey sees the issue of culling badgers as black-and-white. He is wholly against harming these cute British creatures and spends an average of 20 hours per-week in their company. Pictures show these usually nervous and shy omnivores totally at ease in Neil’s presence, even eating
CRANLEIGH, SURREY, UK: Badger whisperer Neil Longhurst communes with his badger friends. A BADGER whisperer who has dedicated 40-years of his life studying the creatures “will not be held responsible” for his actions over badger cull. Just like the colour of their fur, team leader Neil Longhurst (55) from Cranleigh Surrey sees the issue of culling badgers as black-and-white. He is wholly against harming these cute British creatures and spends an average of 20 hours per-week in their company. Pictures show these usually nervous and shy omnivores totally at ease in Neil’s presence, even eating directly from his hand. One extraordinarily rare shot shows a fox cub playing with badger cubs in the wild – a relationship which is almost totally unheard of.
