Officers call the incident 'abhorrent' as they appeal for information about the protected animal found hanging by its feet at a height of around 10ft in Denbigh, Wales.
"Incredibly, badger persecution is still practised in North Wales and we will continue to work with partners in tackling abhorrent incidents such as these."
It comes as MPs backed an end to the badger cull, which has seen over 140,000 of the animals killed since 2013 in a bid to curb bovine tuberculosis infections. Some 38,642 badgers were killed last year and experts have said they fear another 140,000 will die before the cull is stopped.Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, he said:"We do think that the badger cull has led to a reduction in the disease but nobody wants to continue with the cull of a protected species - beautiful mammals - indefinitely.
"I do think it is a good thing that we are accelerating other elements of our strategy, particularly vaccination. "I think that is the right way forward and I do think we should begin, if we can, to phase out badger culling in this country."Anybody with information should contact officers at the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team via the website or by calling 101, quoting reference number Z121155. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
