A fox cub is now in a “safe place” after being abandoned at the side of a road with a “heart breaking” note written on a Greggs paper bag.
The cub – which is now being cared for at an RSPCA wildlife centre – was found in a carrier box on Langley Moor, Co Durham, on Wednesday May 24. A note was left with the animal, which read: “My mam died – help me.”
RSPCA rescue officer Shane Lynn collected the cub and took him to the vets for a check-up. He said: “It is heart breaking what happened to this poor fox cub but we are so grateful that he was found and is now in a safe place where he can recuperate.
