      Foxes can be strangely very curious animals. When I used to work in security, it wasn't unusual to have one follow me around on a patrol. Sometimes they'd get so close, they were practically walking to heel - but they'd never let you touch them! They often hung out around the gatehouse too, waiting/hoping to get some free food. I reckon they have humans sussed out. :-D

      @wildlifeaid  4 года назад +70

      We agree, this is a problem that we are constantly facing - nearly every type of animal is susceptible to getting caught in netting!
      You can help by spreading the word - many people don't even think about animals getting caught when they put up netting - it's only once an animal gets trapped, that they realise the danger they pose. If we can spread the word and encourage people to lift their nets a foot or so above ground, so many of these situations could be prevented!

      There is a similar video of large dog that got twisted and caught up in a torn patio awning on the side of a house. A police officer climbed over the fence and used a knife to cut away the very tight fabric. The moment the dog was free he leaped at the officer and I thought he was going to bite, but he was giving the officer a big hug and his tail was wagging like crazy. So sweet!

    Simon, another great rescue. If I could make a suggestion -- consider adding a good, sharp pair of bandage scissors (aka EMT shears) to your field kit. I think you'll find them easier and safer to use than straight shears in some of these situations. Your veterinarians might have a spare pair lyng around.

    When I was in the army, during a night patrol, I found a fox trapped in a poacher's steel lace... She was in a water stream, so we placed the truck on the shore to point lights where the fox was, then I went into the water with a comrade to free her... The lace was so tight against a metal fence in the stream, that I had no access to the wire... So I had to keep her up in my arms and turn around the fence poles to loosen the wire a little and cut her free... She did nothing to me, she knew I was freeing her... Finally, she run away, stopped a while looking at me, and then she was gone...
    What a night Patrol it was...!!!

Sure enough there was a fox sitting on his bum, like a dog would and waiting just on the edgde of a field waiting to cross the road. I even made eyecontact. Smart fox that one!! True story. It was such a funny sight. Glad to see this one is rescued. Hope he doesn’t get roadkilled
