Graeme Wilson is seeking custody of Harriet, a badger he nursed back from starvation, saying the animal could be seriously harmed or killed if she were returned to the wild.
Wilson’s concern centres on Harriet’s ability to survive after the care she received. He maintains that releasing her would expose her to a significant risk of injury or death.
The available information does not set out where Harriet is being held, the formal process surrounding Wilson’s request or whether any authority has responded. It also does not provide details of Harriet’s condition beyond Wilson’s account that he helped her recover from starvation.
The latest known position is that Wilson is continuing to fight for custody of the badger. No decision on her future is given in the supplied material.
