Not only were you given advice on how to help the cub, you were also given details of your local Wildlife Centres, which would have come and collected the cub and rehabilitated it safely. Imo, the fact that you completely ignored all advice suggests you had no genuine concern for the cub’s welfare, and merely continued to entice the cub into your house for your own gratification, and then rejecting it after you’d had your evening’s entertainment. How confusingly cruel for the poor little mite.
I sincerely hope the cub had the good fortune to be found by a genuinely caring person who would have used their common sense and got it the help it so obviously was desperately seeking. |
Altho i allways appreciate peoples concern for animals, this woman was only trying her best in the interest of the animal.
Now i also agree with what you've said and if i had this dilemma the options for me would be simple, I would either keep it as a legitimate pet, it would have its injections, a crate a bed proper food and it would be walked every single night for at least an hour...OOOOR it would be handed to a wildlife sanctuary in the hope it could return to the wild, the choice wouldn't be easy but I would do what I felt would be easiest for the fox...in this case I feel (and this is just my opinion not a fact) I feel I would have kept the animal as it seems it does have an identity problem and there would always be a chance of that animal running up to humans in the hope of food/warmth and love causing risk to both fox and human, the best option for ME would be to try to keep it or have it re-homed.
