Really? A Fox and a Net? Are We Seriously Doing This Now?
Honestly, Im just… exhausted. Apparently, we’re all supposed to be moved by the heartwarming tale of Virginia animal rescuers saving a fox trapped in a net snagged on a fence. A FOX! In a NET! On a FENCE! As if wildlife isn’t already battling habitat loss, vehicle strikes, and indiscriminate poisoning, now they have to contend with…nets? Seriously?
I bet you can practically hear the violins playing, right? Look how noble these people are, rescuing the poor, helpless fox! Yes, it’s lovely that someone felt compelled to cut a tangled mess of nylon off an animal. Its also utterly predictable and frankly, a symptom of a much larger problem.
This isnt about heroism; its about basic human responsibility! Whose carelessly discarded net was this? Did anyone stop to consider the potential consequences of leaving trash lying around like that? I doubt it. We’re all so busy documenting our “good deeds” for social media, we forget to actually prevent the need for them in the first place.
Instead of patting these rescuers on the back, maybe we should be directing some righteous indignation at whoever created this ridiculous situation. A fox deserves better than a theatrical rescue fueled by negligence. Just saying.
