The other day a fox was spotted going round & round in circles. He was besides himself & it was noticed he had a bullet hole going through his head. It had gone straight through, you could see the entry & exit wounds. There was no option but to put him out of his misery. What they found was maggots in his brain, 100's of them!
This is not the first time I have heard this, but it is the first time I have heard it first hand. So what if this fox had bitten a child that was playing in the garden? I know it is not an every day occurence, but I do think that the hunting ban (with dogs), needs re-thinking.
This should have been a clean shot, straight through the head, which it was. Anyone who is anti hunting may have 2nd thoughts if they had seen the state of that animals brain. He was probably pass the pain, but god knows how long he had suffered. They do a fair bit of lamping in our area, & these guys are not amateurs, there is no saying it was one of them anyway. No animal deserves to suffer, but I think the old way was better.
