Badger expert Tony Dean is appealing for information after a dog walker found the mutilated carcass of a dead badger in woodland off Pensile Road in Nailsworth at 8am last Tuesday, April 8
A DOG walker stumbled across the grisly remains of a mutilated badger in woodland off Pensile Road in Nailsworth last Tuesday, April 8.
The find, a carcass which had the front legs missing, has been reported to the police, and the Gloucestershire Badger Group is putting put up a reward for information leading to a conviction.
There are concerns it could have been dumped by badger baiters who removed the feet as a trophy.
Tony Dean, chairman of the bagder group, said: “It was horrendous. I went out to the site after I was contacted by the walker. I can’t understand why anybody would do this.”
It was found at 8am – anyone with information should call 101.
