Sattar Jabbar, a 50-year-old farmer from Abu Sakhar, north of Basra, claimed he saw one of the badgers eat a cow.

 

"It tore the cow up piece by piece. I tried to shoot it with my gun but it ran away into the orchards," he said.

Since when did a honey badger attack either cows or humans? Unless of course they were already dead...

 

From wiki:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_badger

 

The ratel is among the fiercest hunters of the desert, with prey including earthworms, termites, scorpions, porcupines, hares, and even larger prey such as tortoises, crocodiles up to one metre in size, and snakes (including pythons and venomous species).

 

In one case, shown on an episode of Animal Planet, an old female honey badger that was nearly toothless and had one blind eye was attacked by a leopard. It took the leopard about one hour to kill the honey badger.

 

by the sounds of it - these buggers are pretty radgi
