The Fox. No One Is Really Interested in the Species

 

 Well, I heard from two people in Europe that my fox work is unique. I find that hard to believe but then I got the latest response from Germany re. the Fox Death Study resaults:

Dear Terry,

 

Thank you for your message to NABU.

 

NABU does not conducting any specific research into foxes currently, and unfortunately we are not aware of any other projects that investigate the various causes of death among foxes in more detail.

 

Data on fox hunting bag figures and road traffic accidents is collected by the German Hunting Association (Deutscher Jagdverband): Jagd- und Wildunfallstatistik | Deutscher Jagdverband

The IZW in Berlin deals with wildlife diseases in Germany in general. They may also have data on diseases affecting foxes: Department of Wildlife Diseases - Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

 

Kind regards

We are in the year 2026 and and bleat on relentlessly about wildlife welfare in third world countries yet ignore our native wildlife.

This explains why zoologists in  Norway have no idea that large "mountain foxes" were exported to England -none have done the research. It explains why zoologists just think EU DNA in foxes and other UK species is normal -they have no idea of the mass importing of animals to continue hunting after native species were exterminated. It shows why, despite the historical pictorial evidence for there having been an Old fox type in Western Europe zoologists believe there have only ever been red foxes (Vulpes vulpes).

It is far easier to teach and keep pushing established dogma than it is to spend years accumulating files and reading through old books and journals AND scientific papers.

Shameful
