Council bans man from keeping foxes at home

A man is being forced to move two foxes he is nursing back to health out of his home after a neighbour complained about the noise and smell. Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has banned Steve Mason from keeping the animals at his home in Hampshire.
The 68-year-old runs a fox sanctuary at a different location but was housing the injured pair of foxes with him on what he says a "short-term basis". However, TVBC said it decided to act after receiving complaints about the "impacts of odour and noise" - slapping him with a community protection warning notice.
