Lib Dem councillor rescues calf from badger sett

This is Cornwall reports:

A Cornish farmer found himself forced to break the law after a calf fell neck deep into a badger sett. 

Jim Candy, who is also a Liberal Democrat member of Cornwall Council, said he realised the action could land him in trouble with both the police and the RSPCA. 

However, he said the welfare of the cattle on Trerieve, his organic farm near Looe, must come first.
