⚠️Warning to wildlife lovers and pet parents in Broadstairs!⚠️There is been a string of fox poisonings in the Stone Bay area (Eastern Esplanade end, near town centre). So far 7 (!) cubs and 1 vixen have been found dead in the garden of a fox lover in quick succession. 😭The cases which constitute a wildlife crime have been reported to the wildlife officer at Kent police.
If one of your fox friends arrives and is struggling to breathe and seems wobbly, get them to a vet as soon as possible. Briar House Vets have been informed about the poisonings and Kent Wildlife Rescue Service could help getting the sick fox rescued.
If you find a dead fox in your garden, do not handle the body as the police would only consider collecting it for a postmortem if it was not 'contaminated' by being handled. Poisoned foxes often have a frothy discharge coming from their mouth. 😑
I know this is challenging but DO take pictures from various angles and call to police quoting crime reference number #09-1286. Currently this case is "closed" due to 'lack of evidence' but that could change because someone somewhere may know something. If you know something, be the voice for foxes and speak up! 🦊
@BBCSouthNews We are losing the younger residents when they leave college/uni as the jobs aren't here. We're losing tourism because of the ferries. We need something as its too dear to cross the solent. A tunnel would pay for itself in few years. Bring it on
@islandecho Bloody disgusting. I bet if Quigley had a child under 13 they would not be letting them in the trial! Stop fighting & think of the reality. Mon a 10yr old wants to be a fireman & by Weds a surgeon. They’re boys OR girls
They say banning trail hunting will mean thousands of hounds have to die.
But they already kill them.
Our hidden camera footage shows hunt staff tossing the bodies of healthy dogs into skips like rubbish. Routinely. Casually.
Britain is a nation of animal lovers. These people aren't.
The government is consulting on a ban right now, but it closes on the 18th of June. Five minutes of your time could end this for good.
Have your say: https://t.co/Zvl4uWdNPQ
