Oddly, some people seem to object to emptying out unwanted badgers and using the remaining skin for clothing.

As a concession to this point of view, BorgCo engineers have produced the first purpose built badger trebuchet.

The device is used to fling a dead* badger** high into the air, whereupon an array of chinless, braying tweed-clad idiots blast away at it with 12- bore shotguns, having paid huge fees for the priveledge.

*If not dead, then heavily sedated, otherwise they wriggle out of the sling.

**If badgers are unavailable, will work perfectly well with cats.

Badger is quite tasty, if turned into ham. Therefore, given a use for both the inside and outside of a badger, is this strictly necessary?

Why did I not think of this, I actually have a trebuchet at home!

I will need to seriously gear it up to cope with a 15-17 kg Autumn badger (apparently they fatten up for winter), but this is definitely doable.

as my ideas include raccoonapults and ferret mortars, both live at both ends of the traverse, I officially yawn at this idea.

Ok so throwing badgers and shooting at their carcass is ok, but wearing them for practical purposes is bad. Got it!

//...If not dead, then heavily sedated...//

This I like! They could be used as the sole source of ammunition utilized by two opposing armies on the field of battle! Ideally, the badger would snap out of his drug-induced fog somewhere in mid-flight! I envision hundreds of thousands of badger-bombs flying through the air toward opposing combatants! Badgers not effective upon landing would be re-sedated and loaded right back into the trebuchet for the return flight!

You are awarded one Badger Bun. [+]
