Fox tangled in school football net

Netting strikes again!

Cut free by RSPCA (England & Wales) Inspector, Liz, this fox seemed to be fighting a losing battle with a school football net. With the feisty male not allowing Liz any room to work, she brought him into the centre to complete the extraction.

Rehabilitation

Although the net was quickly removed, he had suffered minor constriction injuries around his leg and groin and is currently being monitored, just in case. With these injuries taking some time to fully declare themselves, we want to make sure he has no further complications before release.
