[quote=ananova][b]Badgers over-run prison [/b]

Prison guards found themselves over-run - when two badgers dug their way into jail.

One warder was left with a gaping hand wound after being bitten, reports the Sun.

And his colleague fled to safety after the creatures tunnelled in under a perimeter fence.

Bosses at Category C Erlestoke Prison in Wiltshire had been powerless to get rid of them because badger setts are protected by law.

The badgers were free to wander the grounds for months after breaking in earlier this year.

But following the attack on the guard, prison chiefs called in the Department for Food and Rural Affairs.

They were granted a licence to remove the badgers legally.

Switching it around.

I ran over a badger a few months back.

I'm glad I wasn't in my Tiv, the lads at HHC said that somebody hit one in a Chim and it caused £2k worth of damage! As it was it bent the front of my Volvo. I hit at at about 60mph. It made a horrible sound as it went under the car.

They can be nasty little buggers if you get them cornered. I had two run past me a while back, must have only been three feet away
