At Your Feet
By Iveren McCallion
An investigation is underway after the discovery of an injured badger with rope around its neck.
It was found beside Annadorn Road in Downpatrick.
The badger died a short while later and a post-mortem is being carried out.
Officers say there are clear signs of badger-baiting and it's being treated as an animal cruelty case.
They're keen to speak to anyone who may have information.
