Best Answer

Badgers don't really have any real predators, they are reluctant to come into contact with humans, and would simply run off into a nearby wildlife garden. However, an injured or sick badger if cornered, could attack as a form of defense. If a badger is trapped, it could lash out to get away. If a dog is trying to attack or harass a badger, it might attack the dog for to protect itself. Badgers can be potentially dangerous and aggressive with sharp powerful, claws and strong bite. They also have thick skulls, and may appear to be dead when only unconscious. In this situation they may become fully awake without warning, and if cornered or startled could attack.

Only in extremely rare cases, when cornered and threatened and with nowhere to run. If you're simply walking thrugh the forest you run a much greater risk of being struck by lightning. If you're trying to catch one, well then you're quite likely to get a nip.

The answer is yes a standard Engish badger can kill a human but under extremely rare circumstances. It was recently reported that a Gordon Ramsay look a like sex dwarf was found dead and half eaten in a badger sett in Wales. As i said extremely rare A Honey Badger on the over hand is a lean mean killing machine and it i likely it could kill someone.

To what? Soil? Plants? Humans?

If you mean to humans, than no, not unless you try to harm them. They won't go out of their way to harm you.

If they feel threatened, like if you try to catch one, they might.
