Racoon baiting in Scotland.

I visit the Highlands of Scotland each year for the Deer and the Grouse shooting. In many ways it is the highlight of my social and sporting calender. Apart from the glorious hunting I also indulge in a demanding whirl of after hours amusement with members from all social levels and classes.
I enjoy balls and banquets with the cream of the nobility. I am equaly happy gulping whisky and swapping yarns with rugged old Highlanders in grubby country pubs or dancing into the early hours with the local maidens in what pass for night clubs in that rustic and backward region.

I witnessed something last year in a remote hunting lodge which I have never seen before and never wish to see again. I enjoy badger baiting as much as the next person but was shocked when an old Scottish pal of mine invited me to a fight between a native Badger and a Racoon that some disturbed individual had stolen fromm a zoo.
The Racoon can be an agressive animal but this one was no match for the Badger.
The fight lasted little over an hour before the Racoon expired from his wounds.
It would appear from conversations afterwards that this kind of mismatched barbarity was a frequent event in the glens and valleys.
Am I alone in being revulsed by this sick sport ?
Has anyone else witnessed anything similar ?
