Signed. They are NOT pets! If they escape to the wild (and survive) there will no doubt be those calling for 'a cull' of non-indigenous species! Hunters will rub their hands in glee! This must Not happen!
Omg ive seen it all now, is there nothing a spiteful human wont sink as low to as exploiting these poor foxes shame on all the council knobs who need to do more to close this, absolutley gob smacked what the pursuit of money these idiots go too pathetic
This makes me furious…surely any old idiot is not allowed to breed and sell foxes…what the hell….or anyone who isn’t an idiot either!!!
This is despicable, totally disgusting and cruel. I’m in shock that this goes on…this woman has got to be stopped.
I dread to think about what becomes of these beautiful animals when they are brought to be a pet !!!!
This is utterly heartbreaking and unacceptable…I feel despair.
Please follow this story PTW and hopefully we’ll get a good outcome and see this dreadful person shut down and those beautiful animals taken somewhere safe
It's warped how governments acknowledge that nature needs to be protected but turn a blind eye to blatant exploitation. All these so called green energy projects won't solve the crisis because they are creating an economy that supposedly counters the damage done by the main economy but if you leave your fridge door open your kitchen won't get cooler.
Signed! This needs to be done ASAP (what the petition is asking for)! How is this even being allowed to happen if she has no licence? Foxes and skunks are wild animals, not mere breeding machines for breeders to use to profit alone!! I thought "roadside style zoos" only existed in America and other countries, not in England. I thought we were meant to have very strict and stringent wildlife keeping, breeding and (dare I say it) "selling" laws in place? (That is NOT something I thought I would be asking in a 21st century UK!!) What is very concerning is the fact that one of the foxes the site claimed was/is "a descendant from an American FUR farm!" Rescued from or secretly in support with? Bit of a very long personal story: When I was younger, I used to regularly visit the Heavy Horse Centre in Dorset. I used to love going to stroke and hold the rabbits, goats, horses, guinea pigs etc. I had gone so many times there that they knew me when they saw me. Later on, my family and I found out that they supported that "Martin Clunes" but that wasn't the most devastating part. When I later adopted 2 rabbits, they were first (please remember I was 11 years old here, many years ago and didn't know as much about rabbits as I do know) kept in a hutch and run outside outside. We later made the decision to move them into the house a year later for many reasons.They both shared a standard pets at home bought indoor rabbit hutch but I remember looking at them one day and they looked so bored, unhappy and stuffed in together in such a small space. I decided to look for a bigger hutch and a run, like they had outside, and got that for them. I still was conflicted and uneasy though as they would often bite the bars of the run and clearly wanted to get out and after hearing from various sources on people who had house rabbits, I later made the decision to do everything in my power to allow them to have virtually free roam of our 2 roomed living room. Very sadly, one of them passed away before I had thought of and could do that. The other rabbit though loved the freedom of the lounge and I vowed ever since that if I ever get rabbits again, they need a full sized room to run around in, mandatory minimal. Looking back, knowing how much I know about rabbits now, that rabbits hate being picked up (our hands are like a bird of preys talons to them) and just how much room they really need, it is heartbreaking for me to think of the rabbits living there at the heavy horse centre. About 10 of them were all living in 3 separate but penned close areas all-together totalling no more than 4 ft by 2ft and only getting interaction when being picked up to be held and petted or cleaned out. THAT is their life!! I have never gone back since. Domesticated rabbits may not be truly wild but they are not really very different at all (both psychologically and physically) to their wild cousins. I can certainly understand people's desire to stroke and interact with animals (after all, when I was a child, I loved it) but if you consider it from the rabbits perspective there, knowing what I now know, that is nothing short of cruel. I have no objection to people wanting to stroke and interact with domesticated animals (truly wild animals is very different though. I don't mind people observing and helping look after/feed them under skilled supervision through the bars such as what accredited zoos and Four Paws sanctuaries allow or wildlife rehabbers taking care of them in their home or keeping them in a suitable area of their property if they can't be returned to the wild but definitely not treating them exactly like a furry plaything (big cat petting for example)) but I just wish those places would actually put the animals welfare first and foremost for a change. Why isn't there more places that rescues animals from horrid places and allows people to interact and stroke them but on the animals terms where the animals have enough room and are not forced or picked up for petting? I know there are sanctuaries where that happens but there are usually, unfortunately, very few around and they usually tend to focus on just farmed animals alone (like sweet cows, pigs, chickens etc). I have not seen any that have rescued rabbits or guinea pigs that you can stroke on their terms so far. Sadly, there aren't any known farm/domesticated animal sanctuaries where I live nearby either. Why do "people" never seem to consider how the animals feel in these situations and make life better for both worlds? I dread to think of what could happen to all those poor foxes, skunks and emus being literally sold off so young to the highest (and most likely, very unsuitable and poorly educated on how to properly look after them) bidder who could cause them harm, either accidentally or deliberately 😿💔😾🤬🤬!!! Also, how many routine vets know how to appropriately treat foxes, skunks and/or emus? Not many routine vets know how to correctly treat rabbits or chickens!!
Also I’ve just signed that petition…but it says amongst other things to bring in legislation that the cub needs to stay with its parent at least until 8 weeks old in an enriching environment….but surely we don’t want fox cubs sold at all !!!
We need legislation to say that fox cubs or any foxes cannot be bred or sold to anyone and that goes for other animals that aren’t usually domesticated.
Appalling enough that she is selling fox cubs, to do so when they are only between 4-6 weeks is even worse. Glad to sign the petition, thanks for posting this Charlie.
WE SEE EXOTIC ANIMALS BEING TRADED AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH SMUGGLING. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO KEEP WILDLIFE ANIMALS AS PETS, BECAUSE IT CAUSES TRAUMA AND THE ANIMALS ARE NOT LIVING IN A NATURAL ENVIROMENT, WHICH MEANS THEY SUFFER MENTALLY. THE AUTHORITIES ARE IN SOME CASES CORRUPT, BUT UNLESS ALL COUNTRIES ACTUALLY ENFORCE STRICT LAWS, THEN THIS WILL CARRY ON, AS PEOPLE USE THE INTERNET TO TRADE.
Signed. They are NOT pets! If they escape to the wild (and survive) there will no doubt be those calling for 'a cull' of non-indigenous species! Hunters will rub their hands in glee! This must Not happen!
This should be illegal to protect wild animals

Signed. You couldnt make this up. SICK.!
Typical breeders. They clearly do not care about anything but money.
This makes me furious…surely any old idiot is not allowed to breed and sell foxes…what the hell….or anyone who isn’t an idiot either!!!

Well said, Cara 👏
Thank you Helen ❤️.
Signed. These are pets and no baby should be taken from it's mum at 4 weeks old. All the animals need removing from this stupid money driven witch.
