As previously mentioned, it is illegal under The Animal Welfare Act 2006 and other various pieces of Animal Cruelty Legislation to release trapped foxes back into the wild once caught.

Not only does this put other wildlife and humans at risk; but releasing trapped foxes into an alien area is cruel to the foxes as they will almost certainly starve to death, be killed by other 'healthy' foxes or shot by landowners worrying their livestock or game birds.

Pest - Go Limited  provide a humane dispatching service for other Pest Control Companies that do not have the required means to humanely and legally dispatch a trapped fox.

This service has now been extented to anyone trapping nuisance urban foxes in North & East London.

By offering this service, we can help reduce the pain and suffering caused to a fox by an inexperienced person, not using the correct equipment to guarantee a quick, clean and humane dispatch, after all; there is no room for guess, lack of judgement or creulty.

If you are carrying out a trapping treatment and you require our dispatching service, we would appreciate being told before hand, so that we can confirm that we will be available if you require our service.
