Workmen paint white lines around dead badger
 
No this is not a joke, but is for real.

As for not been trained to remove the carcass, that just beggars belief.

What a bunch of jobsworths!:o

I wonder how the training manual reads for dead badger removal?

That's a rolled badger kind of hard to remove with bare hands unless equipped.

Understandable from my point of view but the workmen should have alerted others to get some utility. At least they didn't paint it over the carcass.

I wasn't having a go at you, I'm just annoyed by this sort of stuff.

Murdered?
 
There is suspicion of foul play here. No doubt the CSI team will be on the scene shortly.

Possibly the only positive on the matter.

The county council said there would be no extra cost to taxpayers because the company was being paid a fixed rate for the job.

The line painting union doesn't allow them to touch a biohazard carcass.

The carcass remover union requires that any carcass no be in the middle of the road unless the road is closed by another union—that will not close a road with a dangerous carcass on it til it is removed ;)
