Starving Foxes Were Left To Die At A Fur Farm Are Now Clearly Glad Rescuers Came And Saved Them
Not one animal on this planet deserves to be treated inhumanely. Sadly, there are many abusive individuals who treat animals with cruelty.
This story portrays how abusive people can be toward helpless animals. Around 50 foxes, including raccoon dogs, were abandoned and left to starve at a fur farm in Durzyn, a village in Krotoszyn County, Greater Poland Voivodeship.
The helpless and heartbreaking situation was discovered by locals living nearby when they saw more than twelve foxes wandering around the village.
Alarmed by what they thought was an escape from the fur farm, they alerted the authorities from the Polish animal rights organization Otwarte Klatki (Open Cages) to help these animals. Fortunately, help arrived before it was too late.
The sight was unimaginable, as most of the foxes had already died from thirst and hunger. There were also remnants of those foxes that had been electrocuted, which is the usual method used to kill foxes at fur farms.
The poor and helpless animals were still in cages, embracing the dead bodies of their friends, while some tried to bore holes by biting the wires as hard as they could in an attempt to escape from that hell.
Find out more about these foxes and check the photos taken during the actual rescue.
These foxes tried to bore holes by biting the wires desperately to escape from their cages.

These poor foxes live with the dead bodies of their fellow animals inside their cages.
Look at those blank faces; these foxes were uncertain of what would happen to them when the rescuers arrived.
Scared of the humans (rescuers) they saw, these foxes never cuddled each other.
What a horrific sight indeed, seeing these alive but starving foxes mixed with the dead ones.
Aside from foxes, raccoon dogs were also present, and they were also dying from hunger and thirst.
This fox managed to escape from one of the cages.
One of the foxes that escaped is being caught by one of the activists named Bogna.
Here's another rescued fox.
The vet is now checking the foxes' condition.
Most of the rescued foxes were found to have health issues.
One by one, the vet checked them thoroughly.
They were also mostly found to have broken teeth.
It can be recalled that those who tried and were able to escape from their cages in the fur farm bit the wires with all their might to make holes so they could fit through and flee from their helpless condition.

The Otwarte Klatki activists later discovered that the fox farm's owner had been jailed, leaving the animals with a caretaker who did not fulfill his responsibilities.
Instead, the caretaker left the animals starving.
Everyone who witnessed the conditions of these animals was left in shock. As Dr. Rick Hanson, a neuropsychologist, states, "The suffering of these creatures highlights a profound lack of compassion in our society." Tragically, many of the foxes were too weak to stand and succumbed to their suffering.
Fortunately, these foxes are now under the compassionate care of their rescuers, free from their previous nightmare. As Dr. Susan David, an emotional agility expert, emphasizes, "Rescue and rehabilitation can transform lives, enabling these animals to heal and flourish." Thank goodness!
