Every animal needs to be treated with respect. However, there are still many individuals who abuse their animals. These folks either abandon or starve their animals. Some are fortunate enough to be saved, while others are unable to wait for assistance. Nobody wants to see this. It’s a heartbreaking situation.
In this scenario, though, 50 foxes and raccoons are the lucky ones. After being left to starve on a fur farm, they are rescued. People in the area noticed them and alerted the authorities, who came to their aid. Fortunately, they arrive on time.
Residents living near a fox farm in Durzyn provided information to the Polish animal rights organization Otwarte Klatki (Open Cages) at the end of October (Greater Poland Voivodeship). They noticed a dozen foxes wandering around the village, which they assumed had gotten loose from the farm.
When the activists arrived at the farm, they were taken aback by what they saw.
The majority of the foxes had already died. Some were electrocuted (the most common method of killing foxes for fur), but many died of hunger and dehydration.
There were still foxes alive, but they were thirsty and hungry.
They stayed in the same cages as the dead, attempting to cradle their companions’ bodies. In an attempt to break free, these living animals bite the wires, creating massive holes in the cages. Their teeth were fractured as a result of this.
These unfortunate foxes were equally terrified of the humans that came to assist them. They continued to cuddle with each other.
Raccoon dogs were also discovered on the site, in addition to foxes. They were in the same boat.
The activists eventually learned that the proprietor of the fox fur farm had been sentenced to prison. The individual in charge of the animals failed to perform his duties.
As a result, the animals who live here are living in a nightmare. When activists saw their situations, they were speechless. Fortunately, they arrived just in time and were able to save some.
About 50 animals (foxes and raccoons) were saved and survived.
They’re all safe now, and they’re being watched by veterinarians. Simultaneously, Otwarte Klatki is soliciting funds to assist them, initially to cover the costs of medical treatment and then to construct new dwellings for them.
