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!

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.
