Fox mange gets talked about a fair bit but cases that far gone are few and far between. That poor fecker caught mange and had a good enough life to survive so long with the disease, whilst it slowly eat away at it....

Best its dead now. Good shooting.....

Good job, but why could'nt the farmer shoot it himself

Hawki the farmer doesn't own a gun

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Cheers lads it was one of the worst cases I have seen

[Alsone 789]

Not nice.

 

I once came across a rabbit with Mixy though and that was far worse. Worst thing I've ever seen tbh.

 

What did you shoot this with a rimmy?

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Yes mate Rimfire

I saw one crossing the main road a while back, had hardly any fur at all. I wish someone had run it over. I don't like foxes much, but I don't want to see one suffer such a prolonged death. Well done for sorting it out.

good job ending its pain. I hope it didn't spread the mange on to others.

Well done pal, this is the sort of thing the antis dont see, or choose to ignore, the w***ers would rather it run around covered in mange than you give it a merciful end.

...and it can pass to dogs as well, one site I have has had two cases of fox mange in their farm dogs, that gets expensive!
