	Badger (animal) - LoveToKnow 1911
		When badgers were more abundant than they now are, their skins, dressed with the hair attached, were commonly used for pistol furniture.
		They are now chiefly valued for the hair, that of the European badger being used in the manufacture of the best shaving-brushes while the softer hair of the American species is employed for the same purpose, and also for painters' pencils, and the fur is used for articles of ladies' apparel and trimmings.
		As soon as the dog succeeded in doing this the animals were parted, often by the attendants biting their tails, and the badger was again shut up in his box, which, at a signal from the time-keeper, was again opened.

		Snares may also be deliberately set for badgers, here in Britain and in other countries, by those who see them as pests and wish to kill them, or by those who wish to capture them for their pelts.
