Foxes are NOT Dangerous to humans, except when they are rabid, which is Very Rare. Although foxes sometimes succumb to rabies, the "Good News" is that the fox strain of the disease has "Rarely if Ever been transmitted to a human in this country".
Luckily, post-exposure treatment is 100%Effectie if promptly administered. Having your domestic animals vaccinated is the most important thing you can do to protect them, yourself and others against rabies. The Humane Society US
The reason I am doing this project is that I had an encounter with a fox March 2016 and it really touched my heart.
I found a fox in the woods that had been trapped in a beartrap and he was so scared. We called the Wildlife people and they said," that they would only take the fox to euthanize him." therefore we ended up letting him be so he had to live on three.
When we let him be he wobbled out of the cage and then looked back at me. Then he wobbled a little more, looks back at me and went inside a fallen tree. This was a very stressful day for me and some others however we got through it. After hearing what the Wildlife people said and calling many different animal places, I realize that no one would help him just because he was a fox.
I have made a petition and I am hoping to change the law! get involved and sign!
