Aye I understand that mate, what I'm interested in is why ?
It's not like she was baiting it was she so whats the reason, overpopulation like Foxes forcing it to come out during the day to source food ?
I don't think it's over population as there aren't a lot about...not where I am anyway. The badger's out for a daytime forage...came across a dog...felt threatened and attacked it. The dog obviously got close enough to it. Nothing sinister in that!!!
Could it possibly have been attacked by dogs before?
