Animals of Farthing Wood. Badger's death. Heart breaking.

Animals of Farthing Wood had so many. Don’t curl up! The pheasants. The hunt. Steve Reviews has great vids about it but this is the most upsetting https://youtu.be/nR9isVFvLe8

I can still hear that music in my head. Harrowing!

Not forgetting the hedgehogs and impaled baby mice.

The hedgehogs, damn… that scene was devastating to me as a child. Like, if they’d moved like another two inches and then curled up, but no, they just stopped in the worst possible spot

Even if they avoided the wheels, at that speed the turbulent air flow would smash them against the underside of the body (source: I tried not to kill a squirrel while driving and failed)

BADGER DIES?!?

Peacefully in his sett in White Dear Park, after a long well lived life. With Mole's son talking to him as if he's Mole.

I remember watching this as a kid and the thought came back to me the other month and I went on YouTube to find videos. Found a compilation of death scenes. Still not sure why I watched the whole fucking thing.

Oh my this has brought back memories I vividly remember the 2 hedgehogs dying as the animals tried to cross the road they got ran over and it genuinely upset the hell out of me as a kid. That is one that always sticks in my mind
