If ever there was a perfect reminder of why you should never give fox or any wildlife locations out this is a perfect example.
A fella (lurcher, terrier and spade man with hunting mates) contact Taxidermy UK to ask if anyone was interested in black foxes. He included photos of an escapee silver fox and although it has been pointed out that it is a silver fox so an escapee pet the thug, poorly educated and seems to love posing to show his muscles, refuses to accept this.
Yes, an escapee silver fox did breed with local red foxes and so there were some black offspring and this counts as "loads".
It could be a pair of foxes but press publicity drew his and others attention to the area.
You may well have an unusual coloured fox and I have a good catalogue of fox types that NEVER gets shared because I know the types out there willing to kill for money ands I also know taxidermists do not care that foxes are killed to order (money in it for them, too) but contacting newspapers with photos of the foxes condemns them, especially when there is money to be made.
I would guess that these foxes will be wiped out within a year -cubs or adults "all worth a few bob"
Posting photos on Face Book also makes the foxes whereabouts known because most public groups have hunting people snooping in regularly.
