Dead Fox in Garden

xzanti · 26-10-2005 2:30pm #1

Bf has just informed me via msn that a fox which has been regularly visiting our communal back yard (we rent a flat in a renovated georgian house) is lying dead from an unknown cause

R.I.P... Does anyone know what the procedure is on disposing of it, the landlord is not around at the moment and it has to be some kind of health hazard... Should we call in the council like in roadkill situations or is it up to ourselves to pick it up and go bury it???

Right, before any more spamming is done this is being moved to Animal/Pet Issues.

You people are despicable :eek:

I don't know the procedure, but it could've been knocked down as the unknown cause of death. On thursday just gone I was training, going past St.Benildus College we saw a fox run out onto the road in front of a Merc C-Class moving at about 30-40 mph, and it got up after bouncing about 50 metres down the road, we reckon it died a short while later

Dead bird being tested for flu in Wicklow
26/10/2005 - 07:35:04

A cygnet found dead in Co Wicklow is being tested for bird flu.

It is also believed that a number of dead swans and foxes have been discovered in the Kilcoole area in recent days, but as yet there is no evidence that the bird flu has reached our shores.

Meanwhile, EU officials have decided to temporarily ban imports of live birds into Europe in an effort to prevent the spread of avian flu.

It comes after the deadly virus was found in a parrot held in quarantine in the UK and 12 dead geese were found in Germany yesterday evening.

They are being tested to see if they are carrying a strain of the bird flu, while in Indonesia yesterday a fourth person was confirmed to have died from the deadly human strain.

You're no longer in AH lads, quit spamming useless replies.

Not too much to it really. Dig a hole in the back garden and bury it, or call your local vet and ask where do they send animals they put to sleep?

Go to your local vets and get one of the bags they use for cremating the deceased animals, then go home and bag it and bring it back up to the vet and they'll take care of it.

OK... Went home from work yesterday waiting to see this pathetic corps in my garden, and there it was.... Grooming itself :rolleyes: I just hope my bf isnt around when they're about to pull the plug on me... Or even let him near the plug for that matter :eek:

No the fox wasnt dead, it was very much alive... call it a "misdiagnosis" of sorts... Just as well he didnt go out with his black bag and shovel... probably would have took the leg off him

Foxes (or is it Fox's?) are resiliant creatures then, I'm sure there was reason for it looking dead
