comanche 3,264 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 You did the poor animals a kindness Even though I'm a sheep farmer, and I'm extremely unpopular when ever I mention this to them, I always do my level best to cull mangy foxes. Rotten way for them to have to go. I think they were both at the stage where they'd given-up on life really . Obviously stopped grooming themselves . I don't know but I guess the mange itself is'nt the killer but the sheer discomfort and stress plus various secondary infections ,blood poisoning, maybe Weils entering the sores ,the fox equivilent of MSRA ,that sort of thing I suppose finishes the job.

Yes, I'd agree The mange just opens the door for secondary infections etc. I can see how in extreme cold climates mange and the loss of their hair could finish them off on it's own but I'm sceptical of that happening in Ireland and the UK. From what I've read they get into biting themselves, I'm sure the condition must drive them nuts. I'd agree with the idea of keeping that photo plus others like it, also ones of lambs, fowl, and game predation Never know when they will come in handy to make a case.

arnieboy 93 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Lady flagged me down outside the local shop having seen the sign on the van, and asked",If I did foxes."Turned out she were from "t' Big House ",(a 15th century affair only about 300 yards from me) and had two really manky foxes visiting her large garden. I followed her ,stopping only to pick up a cage-trap from my house. Didn't need it . The obligatory site survey kicked up the fact that both foxes were laid -up in two separate log-sheds .Quick bit of gap blocking and a trip home for the .410 sorted the situation .I wish all jobs were so convenient ..and successful! Poor old foxes though,riddled with terminal mange . They actually had maggots feeding on the weeping sores. Hope no-one was having tea. just wonder what the anti infiltraters on here think about this thread do they think that the foxes were dealt with correctly or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have a feeling that they would say they should have been taken to a vet to have thousands pumped into them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
