Caught a Red FOX in my Chicken Coop!

[@ChristineIde-l6m]

I love you for releasing the fox!!

[@realdragon]

Some people would get mad, but fox is just trying to survive and there's nothing bad about that

[@fivestringslinger]

Thank you for being humane and compassionate. My parents kept chickens when I was growing up and we had a family unit of foxes that lived nearby. With a well built enclosure, they never really bothered the chickens beyond searching for a way to get in. Occasionally they'd find a weak spot and we lost a few chickens over the years. But they mainly seemed to feed on the field mouse population.

Foxes are such adorable rogues, you just cannot but want to give them a second possibility.

[@coleciervo5454]

poor thing looked so scared. very nice of you to release him and give him some eggs!

[@vicviper0017]

Pretty eyes indeed... piercing orange! I'm glad this foxxo lives to fox another day.

[@meowmeowbobo]

Thank you for showing mercy and not pelting this stinky beautiful animal.

[@afox1689]

Thank you for being so kind. Most other hunters would have treated that fox horribly, but you knew that the fox was just trying to survive. Thank you 🦊❤️

[@CrniWuk]

Yes, save your chickens. But don't be mad at the fox. They just want to survive :(

[@g-max1808]

I agree. Foxes are more than chicken stealing pests

[@Mischief306]

You're a saint sir, times are tough for most souls nowadays and it's heartwarming to see some merciful charity..

Thank you for releasing it!

[@Logic44]

No more swiping eggs for this foxxo...

[@MyFiddlePlayer]

Just make your chicken coop better, and the fox will go hunt mice. My neighbors had a coop with wire on all sides (including bottom) and never lost a chicken to a fox, even though there were plenty in the neighborhood.

[@Logic44]

@@MyFiddlePlayer Exactly, the fox wouldn't go through that trouble if it were easier to just snatch up a mouse in a field...

[@andyay9079]

The right way, good man!

[@quantumcat7673]

Well, it is better than catching a fox in your chicken soup right?

[@OutdoorswithWacky]

Haha

[@robotzombie4754]

Did you killed it? Its hard to get on farmers side,they never show any pity to animals

[@OutdoorswithWacky]

No I did not kill it. I released it by a river. I recently caught another one that was sick, and is currently in rehab. You can check that short out on my channel.

I would definitely do that fox 🥰🥰

[@Korj666]

It doesn't work that way. After some time the fox will return. If you want to secure the chicken coop and not kill the fox, then you need to give it a really “bad” experience. And for this it is not necessary to force the animal to experience pain. After all, I seriously doubt other farmers will be as kind. A wild animal should be afraid of a humans, for his own good.

[@lilith6571]

The whole experience of getting caught looked traumatic enough... maybe I wouldn't have fed her though. That might condition her in a bad way. Still, I think it was done in good faith. Videos like this really restore a bit of my perpetually crumbling faith in people, to be honest.

[@Korj666]

@@lilith6571 This would all be cute if it weren't for the fact that the fox enters the farm to kill the farm animals. And as a rule, it kills much more than it can eat. She's a predator. We all know the purpose of farmed animals. But this also means that the person raising them must provide them with decent comfort, care and protection. I don't have a very high opinion of people who endanger the lives of "their" animals they care about because of strange moral principles or beliefs. Such a choice does not make a person “good” or “loving animals”, it makes him more likely a traitor or a fool. No offense. But everything is obvious here if you think about it. Not one normal person would put the life of an aggressive homeless person higher than the life of his relatives. But the principle is the same.

[@lilith6571]

​@@Korj666 No offence taken, but man, you came out even harsher than before. I was wondering what you exactly meant with "experiencing pain", I wouldn't know how to inflict non-lethal pain to a relatively small animal like a fox. Now I wonder if you would have actually shot the fox in the same situation. Personally I don't think it has to be a zero-sum game, from what I read fox-proof enclosures are very effective, for instance. Of course they're an expense, but over the long time they might be less expensive than fighting a total war against an animal that is just being what it is.

[@Korj666]

@@lilith6571 I did not say that you need to cause physical pain to the animal. I talked about the need to create a more stressful situation for the predator, which will then be released. Maybe my English is bad. I have always been against causing physical pain to animals larger than a cockroach. Even if some animal does not have a sufficiently developed brain to experience suffering, and not just react to a stimulus, this will in any case have a detrimental effect on the tormentor, even if he does it not out of whim but with rational intent. Therefore, I have a calm attitude towards hunters, but I am extremely negative towards people who use bows or crossbows for hunting. I've been shooting long enough to understand how terrible this weapon is, unlike a firearm, and never point it at anything living. As it were. I meant, as an example, that a captured animal needs to be greatly frightened. And not pet it, kiss it on the nose and let it go with a donated fish in its teeth) That's what I meant. You need to be strict with violators. And do not make it clear that they are not in danger. Foxes are not stupid. And this needs to be taken seriously. There are few videos on KZbin of the consequences of foxes breaking in, but you can find videos of how dogs and coyotes that got inside a farm maim domestic animals. The difference is not big.

[@OutdoorswithWacky]

For more information. 1. My chickens will never get killed by a wild animal. Wild animals can’t get in. 2. This fox slept in this trap over a cold and wet night. Sure it experienced a terrible night. 3. I released this fox 200 miles away. The fox is not coming back. Also the fox did not eat the eggs I left. Too traumatized by the night it had in the trap. 4. I’m a big hunter and I use bows, guns and spears. In almost every situation I’ve been in, a bow and spear is far more quick at killing the animal. In fact I don’t think there was a single thing you said that was accurate.

What a kind hearted man. Bless you.
