Fox rescued after THREE WEEKS with litter stuck around its neck
The RSPCA has released a photo of a fox cub which had litter stuck around its neck for an incredible three weeks - in the hope that it will act as a reminder that rubbish is harmful to wildlife.
The animal charity was contacted by members of the public who reported that the cub had been struggling for weeks and was spotted in the Acocks Green area of Birmingham.
An animal rescue officer attended and found the fox was lethargic and, after removing the litter, transferred it to a wildlife centre for rehabilitation.
RSPCA animal rescue officer Cara Gibbon said: “It is so sad and heartbreaking to know that this poor fox wouldn’t have been in this situation if someone had disposed of their litter correctly in the first place.
