I'm against taking wild animals and making them pets, but this story has a different feel... Long story short, lady found injured baby fox (a kit?) then took it home and nursed it back to health. Animal was fed, vaccinated, treated with love blahblahblah... Someone turned her in, so animal control took showed up, took the animal - and killed it...
Their reasoning - the fox had been kept for over 2 years thus they deemed it was unable to live in the wild. So they put it to death. Love free or die I guess... The animal control head said wild animals are not meant to live in captivity which I basically agree with. But now I'm confused by zoos.
