Badger caught in fox trap

I was flicking through my local newspaper today (if you can really call it a newspaper) and on the front page was a badger who had been caught in a big cage that was meant to be a fox trap. The owner of the trap was apparently shocked that a badger had found its way in, and I was quite surprised too, even though the cage was huge and could easily fit a badger in it.

Luckily the badger was unharmed as it was a humane trap, and was let free soon after according to the paper. I think this is an example of how indiscriminate traps are though.

RE: Badger caught in fox trap

It doesn't matter too much if it was a humane trap and the badger was ok, it must have been quite a shock when you expect to see a fox and get a badger instead though! The badger would have become very stressed I would imagine which is the only downside, hopefully it was alright.
