Seriously? A Badger? At School?
Let’s just take a moment to collectively sigh, shall we? Apparently, our priorities as a society are perfectly aligned. Instead of addressing climate change, income inequality, or, you know, actual problems facing teenagers, California animal control officers were dispatched to a high school. Why? Because a badger decided it wanted to experience the thrill of teenage angst firsthand. It was hiding in a storage closet. A STORAGE CLOSET.
I mean, really? Badgers are wild animals! They belong…in the wild. Not disrupting algebra classes and potentially traumatizing hormonal adolescents. Did this badger apply for a permit? File paperwork? Did it even consider the educational disruption it was causing? Of course not! It just waltzed in, presumably lured by the scent of stale gym socks or discarded cafeteria trays, and decided to make itself at home.
And we needed animal control officers for this. Taxpayer dollars diverted from…something important, I’m sure, to deal with a creature more interested in sniffing around than socializing. Its just fantastic. Absolutely brilliant. A badger. In a closet. Let’s all applaud the ingenuity of nature while simultaneously questioning the sanity of everyone involved.
