Man Frees Fox Trapped For Four Hours

Fox was trapped in netting for hours — so this guy ran out to cut him loose!

Transcript

00:00There appears to be a fox that's stuck in netting around a tree stump of some sort.

00:05We've rushed over here because it looks quite tangled, so hopefully we can try and get it out as soon as we possibly can.

00:11Hello fella. Jeez, you are stuck.

00:14Heya bud.

00:16I know, shh shh shh shh shh.

00:18Shh shh shh shh shh shh.

00:23Right, Ivy, I am going to need you for this one, please.

00:27The cutters are on me at the moment.

00:30If you want to hold it, it might happen to cut.

00:33OK.

00:34Have you got his head?

00:35Yep, I've got his head.

00:38It's really badly tangled around what looks like his tail on the bottom of his leg.

00:49How much more is there still to go?

00:52I can barely see. I think there's only a few that are actually holding him in.

00:59Right, is his tail free?

01:05Do you want to grab the cake?

01:10In you go, baby.

01:13Ready?

01:14Hello.

01:16Well done, guys. Fantastic job.

01:18Let's get you back to Leatherhead.

01:21The fox was given a thorough examination by our vet team.

01:24This fox has been with us for quite some time now.

01:26Had quite a nasty wound to the leg.

01:28But luckily that's all healed up.

01:30He's nice and feisty.

01:32And we're ready to release him back to the wild to be free at last.

01:42He knew exactly where he was going.

01:44Shot off back to the house where he was rescued.

01:46And fingers crossed, he won't be doing that again.
