Another Sign Of Growing Incivility In This Country

From the Des Moines Register: Badger on DM bridge 'wasn't very friendly'

A badger found on the Walnut Street Bridge in downtown Des Moines on Tuesday morning was stubborn, strong and determined not to be captured.

Police directed pedestrians around the west end of the bridge and when someone would ask about the detour, officers would say: "Badger."

Mike VanScoyk said he got a surprise as he walked back to the Polk County Administration Building after his morning break.

"It was growling at me and showing his teeth," said VanScoyk. "He wasn't very friendly at all."

Maybe the badger attended one too many Presidential campaign "Meet & Greet" and just snapped.
