An ecologist has given up a rescue badger following a custody battle.
Graeme Wilson found starving Harriet in a cow trough in the Scottish Borders and nursed her back to health.
The 55-year-old claimed he had been unable to release her into the wild or find a zoo or sanctuary to take her because she appeared to have been hand-reared, and had been looking after her at his home.
However, he was criticised by wildlife charities and his membership of the British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (BWRC) was suspended following a row.
