Urban foxed dont do a great deal of harm, they can be left alone most of the time i suppose. Even I confess to finding them quite cute and appealing in that context.

But transporting them out into the countryside to release them is basically signing a death warrant.

Awe Eldrick................where is your sensitive side?
only joking of course i realise they are a problem to farmers and nature can be cruel.

Eldrick

Eldrick Report 2 Jun 2008 16:30

Yes, foxes can indeed be released.

Do it near me and I will shoot it very quickly. A fox that has been introduced to humans becomes a bigger pest than a totally wild one.

There's only one way to deal with a mangy urban fox!

Ahh thanks gran. I know there are some things once caught that mustn't be released.

Eldrick

Eldrick Report 2 Jun 2008 16:28

Yep, I agree totally, no animal should suffer in any way. 100%.

I personally would be ringing the council if it's an urban fox. They should have a pest control officer. A mange ridden fox is a health hazard. It is cruel to imprison a wild animal to try to cure it of mange.

nope fox can be released only squirrels get the chop at vets..............xx

SallyF Report 2 Jun 2008 16:25

Eldrick I understand why you feel as you do about them in that case.
And just in case Taff catches it to treat am I right in thinking she mustn't release it again as it's considered vermin? I'm not 100% sure of this but it might be worth considering Taff in case you get stuck with it and not be able to find it a home.

I just hate to see a defenceless animal in pain, there is no wild life around here, and I do take on that foxes are preditiors, but thats the chain of life!

Hi Taff fox can be treated with Aludex thats mainge treatment if it lets you near it you can take it to any vets, they are obliged to treat wild life free of charge.

We had one few weeks ago beautiful animal and it was so tame, passed to to rehoming centre.

We all have different views on foxes :-)

On this farm, we lost 27 lambs this year to them, that I know of. I personally hate them.

But, if you like them, that's also fine.

Nwfs mange treatment was a success for our back garden fox -almost bare on one side, shivering in winter cold- please send for it.
