If anyone were to show interest I'm sure he would be inspired to go out and set some snares for badgers.
The only downside I can imagine to this, that I have encountered, are the occasional UK visitors who, understanding neither the differences between American & British environmental laws, nor the interspecies distinction between American Badgers & their British cousins (often called "brocks"), sometimes feel compelled to challenge the appropriateness/legality of one's wearing of badgerhide.
But I must hasten to add, on both occasions when this did happen to me, I found that a brief explanation was suffice to have everyone smiling again, and even exchanging names & greetings. I even managed to get the woman from Birmingham to stop feeling embarrassed at her little faux pas but congratulating her government on empowering an eco-crusader like Prince Charles.
That even got a "Thank you so much, nice of you to say!" from her hubby.
