English rescuers waited three days before rescuing the dog

A story that resonated widely occurred in Leicestershire. A couple was walking their pet in the woods. The dog was frolicking as usual, running among the bushes and trees. He was occasionally hiding from his mistress in the tall grass, or sticking his belly to the ground so that he blended in with the fallen leaves. The woman played with the pet until she realized it was really gone. On examining the place better, she noticed a badger hole, the entrance to which was covered with last year’s rags and dry grass. She assumed the pet had fallen into the hole.

Badgers are known to be secretive animals and their burrows have many ramifications, dead ends and exits. A strange guest who got into the badger’s house would not be able to get out on his own.

The woman urgently appealed for help to the rescuers, but they only showed their hands. There is nothing to do, badgers are protected and require special written permission to destroy the burrow.

Heather immediately asked for the paperwork, but on Friday evening the specialists were no longer there. The official permission the woman received only three days later, it took an hour to assemble the rescuers, and four teams were on the scene. She could not find her place counting the minutes before the meeting, but the operation dragged on for hours.

There was no certainty that baby Winster was alive. Plus, the rescuers seemed to be stalling on purpose, trying to track down exactly where the dog was. Fortunately Heather’s pet collar had a GPS sensor, which significantly reduced the radius of search.

The nerve of the owner failed, and she simply began to shout the name of the pet, the latter in turn gave his voice. It took at least six hours while rescuers freed Winster from the captivity of a badger hole. When the dog showed himself, he desperately whimpered, and when he got out, rushed into the arms of his owner.

Despite all the adventures, the family pet was not hurt. He was examined at the veterinary clinic and given the appropriate conclusion. Even the dog’s behavior had not changed, he was still playful and curious. Although the forced stay in the badger tunnel forced the pet to avoid piles of leaves for a while.

The conclusion from the story is one, the laws, while supporting the protection of some animals, should not infringe on others. After all, this is not an isolated case, which means the law needs to be reviewed. A pet’s life is no less important; it is a full-fledged member of the family.
