i was at an animal sanctuary the other day where they have a number of foxes. apparently they turn up in shelters all the time.

Mother has cubs, but when ppl approach she ducks down in the den, leaving cubs behind. folks come along, think cubs are abandonded and "rescue them". Take them home and keep them as pets, until they mature and start scent marking. Then they take them to shelters - because they're now tame they can't be re-released so are "put down".

Apparently 100s are put down every year, perfectly tame, perfectly happy foxes that just smell (a lot).

If you have some outdoors for them to live, "most animal rescue centres would love you to have them" so they don't have to be put down. (was what I was told)

Man, this smells of self link. Not that I can prove it. ANd I'm totally prejudiced since I think Big Cat Animal Rescue is disgusting. Feel free to troll youtube to find tons of stuff about them and their dishonesty.

The cat is cute. But I can't vote for anything that helps out those charlatans.

Having seen the videos of the cat and dog markets in Asia, this doesn't surprise me. So sad, but there are lots of animal rescue groups forming and getting attention now. Thanks for posting this!
