Now that's a sad sight. I see it's still in one piece so I'm assuming it was poisoned as part of 'pest control'. And on that subject, I have no time for 'country folk' who say 'townies' don't understand about country life and that fox hunting is an integral part of that life. Absolute rot - it's not needed, it is not a 'sport', it's brutal and an outdated throwback to the past. And the arrogance of those who defend this blood sport just beggars belief. Grrrrrrrr .......
this looks a very young fox as it doesn't look that big...I think foxes are great and I have seen several on my many walks last year suprising enough, as normally its quite rare to see one.
Could have been hit by a car and crawled here to die very much as a cat would do. I found a fox that had been hit by a vehicle about 30 years ago on the Paul road underneath Quarry Hill. It was still alive but unconcious. Being the good Samaritan I lifted it over my shoulders and started off home with a view of looking after it. Ten minutes down the road it came back to life and sunk its teeth into my hand, I dropped it and it ran off down the road. You can still see the scars on a cold day and I had to have all sorts of injections up at West Cornwall Hospital. I suppose it puts a new turn to a well known phrase. ' Let sleeping dog types lie.'
There's a garage just opposite this lane - perhaps I should have taken the carcase over to them and said Look 'ere, this fox is knacked - do 'ee think 'ee could vixen?
