Surprise as fox cubs survive shed fire

It is not the first time a fox cub has been rescued It is not the first time a fox cub has been rescued

Three fox cubs have been rescued from under a burning shed.

Firefighters from Epsom were shocked to hear animal noises after extinguishing a fire in three sheds in Manor Green Road yesterday afternoon at about 2.30pm.

The crew initially thought it was a child’s toy, but after removing some of the debris they discovered three baby foxes.

One fireman said: “It was weird because it was such a big fire, there was lots of smoke and you would not have thought anything was going to survive it.”

The three cubs were taken into care by the Wildlife Aid Foundation in Leatherhead.

Beautiful, they survive this but if SOME of the Tories have their way like our MP Paul Beresford, these little cubs will be ripped to pieces by hounds. Yes these evil people want to bring back fox hunting. Just remember that when you vote for this outdates psychopaths. And yes i suspect my comments here will be removed as guess who has friends at the Guardian. And by the way, these are the same people that throw little cubs like this into a pack of hounds "as traning" have you ever heard ababy cub being ripped to bits, i sincerely hope you never have to.
