people get weird about dog breeders, because on one hand producing more animals needing homes when shelters are eternally overfilled and some of these breeds are just not healthy ones (dachshunds are notorious for back issues, among other small dog health issues) on the other hand for genetic diversity and continuation of a breed more puppies must be made, and hey some of those people even have those dogs work in the niches they were originally breed for! (dachshunds not so much anymore but there's almost certainly a aussie rabbit hunter or 2 that still used them to flush the invasive pest out)

[@ladybirb]

I remember SASH! They removed my Basset Hound’s cancer there. The first thing the surgeon said when I spoke to him after surgery was ‘you did the right thing.’ We rescued our Basset (Gus) when we lived in the USA, and he came all the way back to Sydney with us. He lived to the ripe old age of 15.

Betty is a beauty. She's got the best life a dog could want. This is my best show too💖

[@RamadaArtist]

Wow I didn't even catch that transition but you're right. Frankie's owner was nervous about Frankie's health, and Frankie just picked up on that energy but didn't know what it was about, so it makes sense that she would then just go into super defensive mode. But as soon as the owner had a reason to relax Frankie chilled way out. Good catch.

[@Pythonaria]

We have a lot of urban foxes where I live. Last year and this year I've had families of foxes in my back garden. Our house backs onto woodland. I've been very lucky to be able to watch the fox cubs grow up from a distance. They've moved out of my garden now to make lives for themselves but I have a feeling I'll be watching the new cubs next year again. I don't feed the foxes as I want them to be wild and there's plenty of food for them in the woodland. It would be easy to feed them but if I did that and they went into someone's house, it could be disastrous for them as not everyone likes foxes.

[@FiSH-iSH]

@@Pythonariamaximun respect for not feeding wild animals, cant say the same about tourists with seagulls lol

[@Pythonaria]

@@FiSH-iSH I can guarantee I've just had my car cleaned and the gulls use it for target practice 🙄 I used to live in the North East of Scotland, right by the sea and the seagulls were a real nuisance. Go some 26 miles north and you can see them in their natural habitat on the cliffs. Watching them glide on the breeze on a warm summer day is very relaxing. I have a lot of wildlife in my back garden. Hedgehogs, frogs, toads, newts, Slow Worms - all creatures that keep the slug and snail population down.

[@eleanorcooke7136]

​@@Pythonaria my grandma has a fox in her garden that she had to treat for mange. Because of the treatment, the fox started to depend on her. She's now trying to wean the fox's (now grown) babies off of relying on her to try and encourage them to properly hunt/scavenge.

If your beautiful fox is non releasable, then it's not necessary to make her become more wild. She could be an ambassador animal for public education or even just a beloved pet. Foxes aren't entirely solitary. They keep their mates year round.

[@ettinakitten5047]

@@charonstyxferryman Why? If she's living in captivity, it's in her best interests if she's happy in captivity, and she'll be happier if she sees humans as friends she can trust. Why would you prioritize making other people think she's wild over her own well-being? Just explain that she's a special circumstance.

[@NotFound-jo6mh]

@@ettinakitten5047 I'm sure she is perfectly healthy while in captivity, but the fox needs to retain their wild instincts which will help them develop their senses and become more independent. Whether or not she is a special circumstance, foxes aren't meant to be living with humans. Also the fox lives near the forest, even though she is living in captivity there is nothing stopping her from getting out and exploring the area. The people can't keep her under watch 24/7 and that is why she needs to be more wild in case she does need to defend herself if she ever does venture beyond the sanctuary.

[@DanteOokami]

0:38 My reaction was just, "OH! TANUKI!" Which is also known as the Raccoon Dog, although related more to foxes, last I read, than actual raccoons or dogs.....Lol. We have them here in Japan.

As a child I wanted to become a Vet…due to some circumstances, that didn’t happen. However I have immense respect for all Vets and the job they do for their patients and the people who need their help!! My bird’s avian vet is like a real super hero and a living angel as her knowledge, care and compassion have made a huge difference in my bird and my life as his caregiver. I pray for many more vets to keep providing amazing care towards all animals in need and their human caregivers!!

[@mj4298]

The case of the beautiful fox "Red" makes me wonder though: Considering that she can never be set "free" again, is no human contact really what's best for her? I don't want to start a big argument here but would Red be happier net-net if she had continued contact with the 2 humans she knows and trusts? Not suggesting they try to make her a pet dog that you can walk on a leash, just trying to make the best of what's a suboptimal situation for her. Some wild zoo animals have close relationships with caretakers and benefit from them.

[@ljcl1859]

I was feeling the same. If they are going to have her fixed and caged, I don't see the point. If she was enjoying cuddles and seeking it out, why deny her. It's not like they were forcing attention on her. In her wildlife she would have bred and raised kits, she wouldn't have been alone all of the time. In the US the red fox stays and helps raise the young. So solitary animals? Not sure about that. It is sad

[@sab5076]

Foxes do have contact with other foxes in the wild so it's not a completely solitary existence. I agree they should have a relationship with her since she'll never be freed. It's what happens in other places with wild animals. No reason it can't happen with Red.

[@melmoomlem7321]

Theres no reason for her to breed when foxes aren't endangered, so they desexed her to prevent cancer. Whoever attempted to release her first time didnt account for her being handraised and not knowing how to forage or nest. She wasn't taught how by another fox so she's confused. Maybe if they find another fox red can learn to be wild and be released then. They're doing the best they can for her overall health with the assumption she will never be either completely free npr tame.

[@tammy3995]

yea, they didn't really explain but I'm sure they have their reasons...because they are always about doing the best thing for the animals

[@turtlemama888]

@@c.h.9223 I agree. In the wild there would be interactions with other animals, not close relationships, but interactions, matings even if they come and go. I don't know much about the lives of foxes, but a life in the wild would not be one of such isolation. This is one instance where I think a Bondi vet got it wrong.

[@corrinsheart]

@@CostaWanti I don’t think it would hurt, especially since they’re trying to reduce human contact with her, she’ll probably get lonely over time

[@Liavfaer]

I was looking for this type of comment. It's a kind thought for Red to stay "wild", but at the end of the day she wasn't able to survive in the wild and as a captive animal she does need socialization and love. What good is it to have a wild animal that'll never be released? Red relies on humans to survive they should get her used to them. She'll be far less stressed out if they need to take her anywhere or simply take her out of her enclosure.

I’m not in a position to foster but I know from talking to the fosterers we have that they love what they do. They see themselves as being part of the animal’s journey on to their forever home and while they do sometimes get sad saying goodbye, it opens up space for another animal that needs them.

thank you Scott! You provide education and information that give viewers understanding and respect for all the creature you bring us. I have seen Brother Fox in my urban area on two occasions trotting back to their bolt with a rat. So many myths about foxes, it is estimated that some urban foxes can have over 100 encounters with cats during a night that are benign. Neither animal has any reason to tangle, evolution has taught them otherwise. I have seen videos of foxes fleeing gardens when a cat is let out, a fox feeding with a hedgehog at a feeder because there is no competition for food. Please support efforts to supply mange medication through bait to foxes talking to local wild life resources. A forest ranger once told me our majestic forests (the ones we are not busy cutting down) are there because everything that falls to the ground provides the nutrition and soil quality necessary. Nature recycles, humans create landfills.

@@charonstyxferryman Also, since she was an orphaned cub, she likely never developed a good immune system. Animals get their initial antibodies from the first several feeds from mom. Too much interaction between her and other animals, including humans, could get her sick or even kill her. Wild animals should stay wild, and this is the best way to let her lead a full and fulfilling life.

[@joyceobeys6818]

Lots of people have fox for pets, you can pet them. That’s cruel to take them from the wild, fix them, cage them and then give them no affection! In the wild they would have mates and babies.

[@jeanchavez2952]

I love you shows ! I watch from Palmer Alaska ! I have taken in so many different animals as a kid and then as an adult ! 🥰❤️ I love animals and love to see the wild ones in the wild ! Up here there are no shortage of those ! Thank you for the shows ! 😂🥰❤️😢😊

[@joannemurdock7899]

Wow u would have much bigger animals in Alaska!💕💙💜🙏from Australia

[@14ToeBeans]

The fox looks so sad. Why not bring her in at night? Is a life of isolation really the right thing?

[@kylieroth2326]

Frankie is the cutest mom I love it

[@jackwhitbread4583]

I live in the most heavily populated Fox town in the UK, its Bournemouth in case anyone was wondering and Scott is correct when he he says they are far more common in urban areas than the countryside . I see multiple Foxes a day, especially in the evenings, never had issues with any of the foxes but my rabbits are strictly inside rabbits and they will remain that way. They are my babies and it's just not safe for them outside in the area i live.

[@johnthorpe1349]

Franky such a Good Mama ☺️ bless those little pups n Mama ❤️💯

[@piakiby1566]

That fox is absolutely amazing! ♥️

Lovely beautiful story so happy Betty got a home

There was a huge problem with coats in stores like Macy’s in the US that were labeled as faux fur and were actually raccoon dog fur.

[@XSemperIdem5]

Oh no, I have a jacket from Macy's I got as a gift many years ago and it has a faux fur trim on the hood 😬 I'm good at identifying bunny fur by feel because I had a bunny so I can avoid that but have no clue what racoon dog fur feels like.

[@Boredchinchilla]

@@XSemperIdem5 it’s not super soft like rabbit fur- it’s more coarse, and I can definitely see how people could confuse it for fake fur.

[@joannemurdock7899]

@@Boredchinchilla yes! So sad!

[@joannemurdock7899]

Those Racoon dogs were sweet and caring! No need to kill animals for their fur! Give me fake fur anytime!

[@kariechaos5382]

Frankie is so adorable, and so are her pups! I have a male doxie, and he's had a litter of pups, he bread with my sister's terrier mix on accident (I kept telling them we needed to get one of them desexed, I was staying there while I was dealing with getting my disability dealt with), and none of his pups came out in black and tan! We had three brindled, two golden and white, a brindle and white, a golden, and a little brown boy with a black stripe straight down his spine! They all had the long legs of the mum! And then we kept two of the puppies, and the little girl got pregnant by a neighbour dog (again I had insisted that we get all the dogs fixed! I had no income yet because disability was in the works), and she had three puppies and one little girl came out looking like my male doxie! So we had a little black and tan girl, and she was such a sweet puppy. One of the neighbours ended up taking her once I had her weaned. I was the puppy nanny. I still have my doxie, he's a sweet heart and he's my support dog for my anxiety and ptsd.

[@EarthlingCanine]

Kinda sickening you can't be responsible enough to keep dogs in your care from breeding

[@kariechaos5382]

@@EarthlingCanine I. Had. No. Money. I was filing for disability and was living with my dad's family, which was him, step-mum, and two adult sisters (20 and 26) who both worked, and the dogs that got pregnant were THEIR DOGS. Not mine. Theirs. I told them it would be better to get them desexed, but I had ZERO say in the finances because I was disabled and filing for my benefits.

[@EarthlingCanine]

@@kariechaos5382 responsibility is not about desexing. As a matter of fact desexing can often be considered irrisponsible. It's about keeping the dog supervised and tethered, and crating when not supervised and properly training the dog. Ethical breeders do fine keeping their dogs from breeding when not wanted, every dog owner should be able to do so without issues. If you can't keep your dog contained (or in this case them and their dog) then you (or they) should not have the dog(s) period. YOU should have kept YOUR MALE DOG contained or tethered and supervised if you were concerned in the slightest about any possibility of pregnancy. Again, it's not about desexing, it's about containment, supervision, and training.

[@AmazonMoss]

Insisting on getting them desexed and actually getting them desexed and two different things

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Don’t listen to those who criticize. They’ve been lucky enough to be healthy and work. They have no,idea what life can throw at you. When my disability hit… severe multiple neurological and autoimmune disorders after contracting bacterial meningitis, I had to take disability here in the US. It took several years…Social security 2 and the disability insurance 5…I had to sue them. I was so ill ended up settling fir 1/4 of what they owed and the lawyer took a third. I was the heavy duty bread winner. We had to file for bankruptcy at 50. Fortunately our two dogs had already been fixed and were healthy…otherwise would have been more of a nightmare. I’m so glad you received your disability.

I think Betty the lil greyhound was bit by a tick🐾

[@katiesimpson4514]

I thought the same thing. It looked like a form of "tick paralyzes."

[@loraineortiz5056]

Thank you for all the work you do. You guys are so amazing ❤️

Frankie is such a great mom, it's wonderful to see.

In japan the word they use for raccoon dog is tanuki it is said to be a symbol of luck and fortune.(I think 🤔)

[@PukaHeadMan]

You got it right.👍

[@lauriepenner350]

Alpacas all have bangs like 80's boy bands and teeth like Austin Powers.

Red is so gorgeous..what a lovely creature!😍And those Raccoon Dogs are really cool!

[@vincentwhitehead]

I can’t believe they actually treated a tanuki!

[@Sakana_Ren]

My fave is the Madagascar tenrec. I learn a new animal each day. Thank you for sharing. And, take care.

[@ShellyS2060]

Go Betty!!! Such an awesome animal 😍 much Love

[@suzieq2268]

Love the miniature dachshunds 🥰

[@adsesser]

Betty is the breed I want. I keep track with my local Greyhound rescue.

[@aimee1177]

Frankie is so adorable. Love the classic colors. I prefer the black/red or solid red doxies. They are hard to find anymore. All you see are the dapples and piebalds.

[@ladybirb]

I see a lot of black and tan Dachshunds around where I live in Sydney. But we have a long-haired shaded red Dachshund ☺️People are always so surprised to learn that there are long haired Dachshunds. They often think she’s a mixed breed.

[@buffyjosmom]

+aimee1177 I'm partial to the Creams and Chocolates myself LOL. I have a Shaded Cream Mini Longhair and a Shaded Red Standard Longhair.
