...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last

The Mammal Society: Mammal Fact Sheets Wildlife road casualties include an estimated 100,000 foxes each year in the UK, which is the equivalent to the total number of mortalities from shooting and fox hunting combined. It is suggested that 50,000 Badgers are killed on the roads annually, while the number of bird road casualties is estimated to be at least 10 million. For rare species, such as the barn owl, road casualties might have a significant impact on vulnerable populations.
