Poor, naive Roger Musselle, suggesting that dead badgers on the roadside are killed by speeding motorists (Letters, March 1)).

Think about it. When has a dead badger ever been seen squashed in the middle of the road?

And does he seriously believe there were 40 or more badgers living near the Falmer to Rottingdean road?

Get real Mr Musselle. Badgers are dumped on the side of the road

by badger-baiters after their evening's "sport."

Examine the bodies and see if you can find any contact-with-vehicle marks. You won't.

They also get dumped on the road past Waterhall Golf Club. However, there are only two reported badger setts on those extensive club grounds.
