DSPCA issue plea after fox gets trapped in football net

The animal charity shared a video on Tuesday morning which showed the animal looking frightened as she struggled to break free from the tangled net.

DSPCA ambulance driver Shane helped free the fox, who was under “awful stress”.

The DSPCA also asked the public to put away their football nets when finished to “protect our wildlife”.

In a tweet, they wrote: “The stress this poor fox went through was just awful.

“Thankfully our ambulance driver Shane was able to cut her free. Again we are PLEADING with the public asking families, schools & colleges to put football nets away after play & protect our #wildlife! #football #nets #animal”
