Badger-baiting

Badger-baiting is when badgers are made to fight for entertainment. It's a really mean thing to do because badgers are wild animals and they don't want to fight.

People who do badger-baiting will usually catch a badger and put it in a small area where it can't escape. Then they'll have dogs attack the badger and try to kill it. This is really scary and dangerous for the badger and the dogs.

Badger-baiting is illegal because it's cruel and it hurts animals. People who are caught doing badger-baiting can get in a lot of trouble with the police. It's important to be kind to all animals, including badgers, and not hurt them for fun.
