	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!

	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.

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.

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

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	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!

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

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	lol 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.

	El, you will have to shoot me 1st then the animal, sorry mate but some animals are worth more than some people. xxxx

	Still no reply from the vet...........
Member Since: December 2006 Posts: 1,227 Send Message	SallyF	Report	2 Jun 2008 17:26
	And you'd think that an animal in pain or distress would have them acting fairly quickly. Otherwise they'd only be in it for the money........
