A BADGER which got stuck in a pit on a live military firing range has been rescued.
A warden at the range discovered the badger and RSPCA Cymru were called in to rescue it.
The animal charity said it was a “happy ending” and released the uninjured badger back into the wild.
The RSPCA’s Gary Lucas said: “This was a pretty unique rescue – with this badger having fallen down a pit at a military live firing range.
“We’re really grateful to the range warden who spotted the badger’s plight and got in touch. We’re delighted with what turned out to be a very happy ending.
“The badger had no injuries and was absolutely fine, despite the ordeal. He was quickly returned to where he belongs – back in the wild.”
