If an elephant was found in similar problem, and couldn't get free, someone would
find a way to 'help', even if it was to an extent that they would have to put the
animal down.
They shouldn't suffer unnecessarily.

I know from first hand experience that a wolverine, a first cousin to a badger, will often drive an adult grizzly bear off a kill. Most grizzlies could kill a wolverine, but is it worth the kill to get your face chewed to hell?
I wouldn't want to be close when that badger was cut loose. Badgers are not born with any real sense of fear. I would guess the farmer went back and got his 12 ga..

Sensible farmers don't easily rid themselves of beneficial critters and are usually brighter than their city-slicker counterparts.
Where you think the adage about methods for skinning cats came from?
Besides, why screw up a perfectly good bale with innards n things your stock won't go near?

I lived on a farm when I was a kid and we never thought of badgers as being particularly beneficial. Horses used to break legs in badger holes but I guess horses are not now as valued as they once were.

Looking again at the picture, I don't think the little fellow has long to live. I can see blood in the hay around his mouth area, which is never a good sign.8O

If you've ever seen a frothing fountain it was probably the work of SOAP.

Set your chickens free!

To clear a few things up that is a bale of straw not hay so it's definetly not pasture land but would you want to spend $10K on a new combine header after a wheel drops 2ft into a hole?

Badgers can fit under doors and down gopher holes so being pancaked like that is natural. Don't let the amount of fur fool you. If you hosed that sucker down he'd look 1/3 the size.

Yes they are a huge problem to cattle not only holes but chase cattle causing cattle to be terrorized and injuries, they will take a calf or lamb or sweet little bambi home to feed the youngsters. A litter of 7 need a ****load of fresh meat daily.



P.S. Never eat a black Rice Crispy.

He would have spun around and chewed his way out if he wasn't squashed and pinned tight.
