Upclose Look At A Red Fox Saved From Certain Death

Sicap Industries supports wildlife rehabilitation, and this little red fox named Cherokee is our latest success. Cherokee was found nearly dead about 6 months ago with the worst case of mange any vet has seen. He had bleeding scabs everywhere and almost no fur. He couldn't walk and he couldn't feed himself. Our veterinarian gave prescribed medicine, but it was almost impossible to apply it to his skin without stressing him out. At first it took two people to hold him down, and one to apply the medicine. Then my mother, who runs our rehab center asked me to help give Cherokee his medicine. We were all shocked to learn that Cherokee and I had a special bond. The first time we met, he allowed me to apply his medicine. I am the only person Cherokee lets touch him, and this video is our final goodbye. Cherokee is finally well enough to be introduced back into the wild. He will be housed in another rehab facility where he will live with other foxes over the winter and then released back into the wild in early spring. I hate to see him go, but it feels so good to know he's getting another chance at life.

There's alot of people way better than me, but they never get any media coverage because good stories don't seem to matter to the powers that be and other assholes in this world.

[dipet227]

yeah you should watch my video..i think i shot cherokee

[pepperman911]

Do what you want. I have no problem with hunting, but I'd rather hunt something a little more challenging....Maybe humans with big guns? LOL

[PieRaGa]

he seems a bit scared, good job at taking care of him

[pepperman911]

he was very scared because he wasn't sure what was going on. That's why I figured he'd bite me when i grabbed him, but thankfully he didn't.

He's so f-ing cute.

@WaffleKogen Whatever you say, you go and catch and release. see what happens. thick skulled twat. i'm not lying. read the papers, look in magazines. search the internet

[Airgunhunter2010]

@WaffleKogen Um...I never said anyone had a violent mental disorder. I am not inbred. i have proof, and You are wrong. Fuck off.

[WaffleKogen]

@Airgunhunter2010 Do not get too almighty there, degenerate. You are the one with a violent mental disorder, likely caused by generations of inbreeding. Anyone with mild ability to use a computer can simply search information on wildlife populations to figure out you are lying.

[Airgunhunter2010]

@tornadoe13 No, there's a difference between idiots like you who think they know how to manage wildlife and gamekeepers, catch and release just spreads mange, putting many more animals at risk whereas with culling affected animals more are saved, but if you think you know best, you go right ahead. see where you get.

@Airgunhunter2010

hunetrs are the cruel ones

[Airgunhunter2010]

@ScottishGamekeeper yeah and they spread mange really quick in urban areas, starve when they get moved, but the twats will do anything to make hunters seem like the cruel ones.

[ScottishGamekeeper]

@Airgunhunter2010 yes but the thing is they they take them from complete urban ares such as glasgow,edinburgh ect... and release them in thee countryside where they dont know how to hunt because they are used to looking in rubbish for food,so in the long run it's going to starve to death so thats more cruel than anything that gamekeepers or hunters do so.

[Airgunhunter2010]

@ScottishGamekeeper yep, i guess but these catch and release programmes will never be as effective as a shotgun, rifle snare etc.

[ScottishGamekeeper]

@Airgunhunter2010 i know tell me about it, the little shits are frever trying to raid the pheasant pens, but i have the place riddled with snares so very few actually make it to the pen. if people actually knew what damage they cause to game bird populations they would think twice about there opinion on foxes but unfortunatly we will always have anti's but thats life for ya mate.
