Trapped fox needs rescuing from garden tangle!

We deal with a lot of animals trapped in netting here at Wildlife Aid, but washing line proved to be a little more of a challenge!
Simon was quickly on scene after reports that this male fox had managed to get his leg caught in the wire, but the tough braided core proved to be quite a tricky thing to deal with...
Luckily, we carry enough equipment to always come up with a way, but we have now added specialist cutters to our kit just in case!

Well done!

[@theecologist10]

Thank you for the great work you do

[@paradislarry]

What a rewarding job that must be

[@arsenalmanic]

I love foxes. I have local foxes, they have been raised in the area, and so were their parents. I feed them several times per week.

[@user-ut2nj8yn8m]

Спасибо большое вам 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ruairijoseph9483]

This dude used to have his own doco show on UK TV that I watched over 20 years ago… Calls in the middle of a winter night, below zero conditions, to rescue any living being… this dude is a true hero… he’ll go through hell for any animal…

[@AxelOlsson-ks2gu]

The name escapes me but his voice is instantly recognizable. Glad he's still OK.

[@AxelOlsson-ks2gu]

Your other subscribers remind me his name is Simon. Delighted. Thanks!

[@MenMsteam]

Was on Dutch TV too. It's a long time ago, but I still admire this man. Simon, what a wonderful things you did and do for wildlife 🙏 ❤

[@GPR111]

Deep respect for anyone who helps any animal in distress 👍

[@lorrainefretts5725]

Thank you

[@williamhblake]

Bless you for all your kindness 🙏

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you so much!

[@epiphany373]

So glad you talk to them gently, some ppl don't. I think the tone/energy helps, poor babies are so scared of us. Thank you for all your work.

[@franksmith7247]

Definitely. Talking softly with low energy is essential.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much :)

[@jillcrowe2626]

He also would have noticed that as he was being handled by human hands, the gentleness was palpable. Touching animals gently while talking gently makes an impression.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I agree. I see so many that don't talk. There's a lot to be said for a reassuring tone and a gentle touch. I'm sure the animals understand too.

[@jodyfulford8215]

Seriously! That bloke's voice was calming.

[@Crow_Friend]

They definitely know when they're being helped, that fox was large enough to cause real problems if it had gone crazy throughout the rescue. Well done lads! 🙂💚💚

[@wildlifeaid]

Definitely so! Thanks so much for the support!

[@foxsinger]

Thank you! Great rescue!

[@SvobodovaEva]

more likely it was too exhausted to fight

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

It takes some time for them to realize they get help, get comfortable with the handling, but then they slow down. Ounce saw 4 men wrestling with a deer being on the wrong side of the high way fence. I hope it ended well some way or the other.

[@jdb47games]

That's anthropomorphism. The fox had no idea it was being helped.

[@LoveTravelUSA-ps5mb]

You just don't see much good in our world anymore. This rescue of the fox was wonderful. I have four rescue cats and 2 more coming. One was a kitten that i heard meowing non stop in the middle of the road in front of my home. I meowed and it came running up my drive, onto the porch and into the house. She is the most loving of them all. They live indoors with me. They have climbing towers, pet beds, toys and get the best all natural foods. Two of them sleep at the end of my bed. At 68 now, they are my family.

[@strawsonian]

Wonderful stuff.

[@arielsea9087]

Poor little fox the eyes said it all “help”! Great job.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you! We're glad we could help him!

[@davidellis279]

That poor foxes face showed how scared it was,thanks for the rescue you are a decent person.

[@lamplight5603]

@@wildlifeaid what a lovely man, talking to this fox, doing all he can to help release him so very gently, and safely. Training the young lad, so he can continue this very important, valuable job. Blessings Love Light to All at Wildlife Aid, for showing the very best of Humanity. 🙏🙏🙏❤💜❤💫✨⭐

[@Kat69nh]

Prayers to Simon. Great job on rescuing the fox

[@joachimhofler1497]

That was well mind, but poor Stress for the Animal. A Bit of sedativum wood have eased the procedure for both parties. Tip from a vet.

[@MenMsteam]

​@@joachimhofler1497You are maybe right, but wildlife has no owner to pay for that.

[@pauly7166]

Simon and co-rescuer, MAY GOD SHINE THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT ON YOU AND YOURS.

[@patriciawilson1836]

Blessings to you for using your gift of kindness to help make the world a better place than you found it. ❤❤

[@annett9878]

Dear Simon. Have watched your work with Wildlife for many years. Thank you

[@TimeTheory2099]

Thanks Wildlife Aid team 👍

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks a lot!

[@GeorgeAlexa]

What a wonderful gift you are to the animal kingdom. Thank you so much from Northern Virginia.

[@spiercephotography]

Lawrie's ever the photographer lol, scruffing a fox but also holding onto a go pro at the right angle and being willing to be used as a balance for the grasper pole too 😂 So glad this little guy was still feisty/bitey and could be released right away. Sure got himself into a tangle.

[@wildlifeaid]

Haha! Thanks a lot. We're glad we could help him get free!

[@sheilapearson9251]

Thank you for caring for this beautiful Fox. ❤

Thank you for helping this beautiful fox

[@fayjones8364]

Love these guys ..

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much :)

[@benduckx9367]

Another 'Garden wire' vs. 'Foxxy'. Would have ended miserably had it not been for the true uncontested and undefeated winner...WILDLIFE AID! Well done mates!

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you very much! Sadly, we see this sort of thing so often!

[@1Cosmic_Squid1]

Every single intro credit for Lawrie is absolute gold. Besides the animal being rescued and hearing Simon say “alright foxy-dox”, it’s the highlight of the episode for me.

[@veldawells2839]

Dangerous. Caring. Well thought out. Great job done. Fox and rescuers so calm. Wonderful cooperation between the team. Fox gets to live another day.

[@charliekane135]

Simon is so calm and kind. A wonderful man from a great organisation.

Thank you so much. We will do what we can to give them a second chance :)

Brilliant job and so good that people find this and report it all in good time.

Amazing people ... just amazing .... very inspiring.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much!

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

Simon and Lawrie are definitely the best at what they do. Remaining calm, talking softly, and just getting the job done. So happy this fox wasn't badly hurt and could return to the wild right away. Thank you WAF for everything you do. You are amazing.

[@TheJacksnipe]

Thank you so much for what you are doing everyday! We, all the Foxes and Sparrowhawks in the UK, absolutely appreciate your work!

Lovely job, very kind and compassionate people! Bless you

[@Brauiz90]

Thank you, Simon and team, for taking care of the animals who aren't pets... Foxes are smart but sometimes they get trapped like this one here. Like you said - this washing line can cause some serious damage. Luckily this fox wasn't trapped heavily.

[@ruththomas6361]

I love what you do for these special creatures.

[@garryharriman7349]

Such a wonderful man. What a real privilege it is for anyone to encounter a wild animal. Lucky man!

Could you be so kind and show the explaining texts/subtitles a bit longer!? That makes it easier for your international audience to capture - thanks in advance! 🤗😉

[@emilywhatley5889]

Aww, the poor boy certainly got himself into quite the tangle 💜 Great work, as always, from Simon and Lawrie 😀xXx

[@user-iq6cc3df3l]

I liked how Simon talked to the Fox. It was very funny. But luckily he was as good as new by the end.

[@omrivol]

Well done!

Thank you!

Good to see Simon out and about! 🐐

[@Fuchsschwester]

Yes, please. I always have to pause the video to read them.

[@manuelabuchmann]

Simon and Lawrie, you two are working so well together. 🥰 It looks like even the fox knows that he’s in good hands. 😊

[@hugofarias9150]

True heroes are for real, congratulations for your atitude n compassion to wild animals.

[@kathicalhoun9252]

You two are AWESOME! I have so much respect for you all and your experience in handling the beautiful fox🦊. I had three babies playing close to my yard while my neighbor and I were talking. I had my hoe, because I was doing some weeding in my flower garden at the edge of my driveway. Where there are babies the mother can't be far. So after watching them play for a while we decided to leave just in case the mother show up. I had the feeling that she was watching all along. 🦊🦊🦊🌟

[@Droopysmine]

Thank you for all that you do! Because of your videos, I've been quite careful putting together my vegetable garden with materials that won't trap local animals (although hopefully the squirrels won't take all my tomatoes this year!)

[@vallee3140]

and if you have a pond make sure anything can climb out, I have put a little bridge in mine.

[@rthompson7282]

try spraying with a mild solution of dr. bronner's peppermint soap

[@DipanGhosh]

I am sure the fox thinks he has managed to outfox Simon out of the grasper.

[@wildlifeaid]

Oh definitely!

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

@@wildlifeaid We'll let Mx Fox salve their pride with that belief. We all know better. 😁

[@Iamgroot9170]

Proud of all of you.

[@DipanGhosh]

So, is it Lawrie who comes up with all the taglines for everybody?

[@wildlifeaid]

It is indeed!

[@dragoncat7362]

Glad to see the fox was rescued quickly. From the livestream I thought the wire rope was a much bigger challenge than it actually was.

Great job! Fox was more grateful than scared!
