Skinned badger found at roadside
Animal cruelty officials on the Shropshire-Wales border are investigating the death of a badger, found skinned by the side of a road.

The animal was discovered near the A495 between Oswestry, Shropshire, and Llansantffraid, Powys.

The RSPCA is appealing for information about how the badger died.

Inspector Barry Williams says the injuries sustained were horrific and he believes the animal could have been used as bait.
