Meh. Call me when it can defeat a raccoon-proof garbage can.
(Just kidding. If raccoons can defeat them, a honey badger probably can too.)

All it takes is some bungee chord, at least that works great for my parents. Though i have heard from people here in the BBS that raccoons in other areas can be much more persistent.

Mmmm, Honey Badger – so hot!
Seriously? A baboon couldn’t figure that out? You gotta be kidding me. Takes the baboon down a few pegs in my eyes, for sure.

If I had honey badgers in my neighborhood, I’d buy hams and crowdsource a bunch of Rube Goldberg contraptions and turn the place into the Honey Badger Proving Grounds.
I know it’s not feasible, but let me dream a little.

We will have a honey badger-proof container when we can cause honey badger to care.

Yeah, seriously, that looks baboon-easy, not baboon-proof. Unless someone forgot to lock it or something.

If it’s baboon-proof it’s probably me-proof…but nothing is safe from the Ratel kit.

Seriously this section should literally be only “Honey badger don’t care it just takes…what it wants”
