LAZY road workers painted a white line straight over a dead badger.
The animal’s body was lying by the side of a main road as the new lines were being marked out.
Instead of moving it, workers painted a white stripe over its back.
Passer-by Chris Crab-tree took these photos of the callous act on the A361 near Frome, Somerset. The salesman, 58, said: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“I had driven over the county border into Somerset when I noticed it.
“They had painted over the badger where it lay.”
