Escambia County Animal Welfare Rescues Red Fox Tangled in Netting

Escambia County animal control responded to a call on a local resident's property where a red fox had become severely entangled in netting, according to the Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare.

The department's team worked to safely free the trapped fox from the netting, which can pose serious risks to wildlife when left unattended. The incident highlights the dangers that discarded or improperly secured netting can create for local fauna.

Escambia County residents who encounter trapped or injured wildlife are encouraged to contact animal control rather than attempting rescue themselves, which can put both people and animals at risk.
