I caught a red fox in my bear trap and it broke its leg what should i do?

Comment #1 MissyG (64.136.27.228) -

Call some kind of wildlife control service and have them take it away. They'll probably euthanize it. Or, if you live in the type of place where its okay, just shoot the poor thing yourself. And stop trying to catch bears.

I heard the police had to catch some bears that were up a tree in a residential neighborhood... make Joe is honkering for a spot in the department.

Why do we feel so compelled to mess with wildlife?

Comment #3 MissyG (64.136.27.228) -

Because we think we're better than them.

I forsee a time - a horrible time - when all creatures are locked up in zoos and humans have spread apartment complexes over the face of the earth.

Comment #4 Alfred (152.163.40.98) -

We are "better" (smarter) than them, anyway. Do you see the foxes and other wild animals hudding in forums conspiring against humans?

Comment #5 KateyBate (66.227.233.47) -

I don't see foxes overtaking the world - mankind is far to predatory to let that happen. Now, insects maybe. I can see the validity of movies like the B films on ants and frogs and spiders where they overtake the world. Why? They are organized forces, and humans have far too much independence to fight a large scale war against an organized force.

Ugh it sounds horrible but i would just finish it off. I couldnt handle the medical bills if i took it to the vet.

Comment #7 QTPie from the rainforest -

I would call the vet and ask if there is a local wildlife center nearby. If you can't find one yourself they'll know where to find one.

And the rest of you, if he's trapping bears there has to be a good reason... Either he likes to eat them (they are a lil greasy for my taste) or they are doing damage and maybe they have refused to be relocated. I agree that man is encroaching on the area that wildlife has left, but that doesn't mean that a menace cannot be dealt with.

I have 3 rules where wildlife is concerned. 1) If it's hurt and in pain and it can be fixed then fix it. If it can't be fixed then put it out of it's misery. 2)Don't kill it unless you;re going to eat it or it's going to eat you. and 3) if it's destrying your home or hunting your pets then get it out of there in the least harmful manner that works.

So far I didnt hear anything that would have broken any of those rules, and I'm not going to pass judgement.

If you really want to get it out of that trap, take a forked stick and hold it's head down while someone releases the trap. I've been trapping before and you're just better off to shot it. It's all part of trapping if you don't like it when some cute lil' animal gets caught in your trap, then stop trapping!!!!

Comment #11 Sammy (216.209.175.64) -

Hello Joe probably either fixed it or killed it already! White fox as a pet! Sweet! How would that be as a pet? (project.)

Comment #12 Casper Riley (207.144.212.130) -

you s you self concieted s

lalalala is it sure huntings a sport it's also nessacerry for food and the environment think about this if human predators were eliminated animal numbers would increase in a drastic and unhealthy way the animals exahaust thier food sorce eventually causing famine and killing out thier species as well as several others if you want to protest anything try thinking out pros and cons!

Comment #15 unknown (208.187.89.239) -

YOu are a bunch of ass holes. I would take it to the vet. Creatures need to live. if it has broken its leg it should go to a vet .The vet can fix it and he will understand the situation.wear gloves and make sure you don't get bitten.

and yes stop trying to catch bears.

Comment #18 racquel from ok -

vets are not allowed to actually charge you for a wild animal you bring in.

I know the original post is old.. so this probably makes no difference.. but... call ur local wildlife rehabilitator..

they do not get charged for taking wildlife to the vet.. or they may.. but get a reasonable discount.. some rehabbers can even fix the break. Just depends.

Comment #19 Jenn (152.163.100.76) -

Some of you guys need to get your heads checked. Bear trapping is perfectly legal with a permit, and no one should push their ethics onto someone else.

As for the fox in the trap, I know it's a bit late, but for future ref. You should call wildlife, or contact a vet immediately. More then likely the leg cannot be saved. If it can, great, don't try to domesticate him if you are going to release him back in the wild. The less you touch him the better. If it cannot be saved, the fox has two options. One putting him down, or two if he has the temperament to become a wildlife example/teaching animal. You could have the leg amputated, but I believe wildlife dept., or game & fish dept. has to make that decision.

Owning foxes are illegal. I have reported all of you to the police that gave evidence that you want one. The police are taking this very seriously. Foxes to not deserve to be pets. leave them alone and get a dog or something legal. The lady who put up your phone number, you are introuble!

Comment #21 muhahaha (71.205.130.140) -

i like killing foxes with a gun in my back yard, does that make me a bad person?.. bunnies too :)

Comment #22 assj (66.82.9.75) -
