If this don't make you go "aww" I don't know what will :)

I hope that the neighbour was reported to the relevant authorities so they can be dealt with accordingly.

We`re not entirely sure which neighbor it was burning the rubbish,if thats what they were doing.It was a few houses up but could have been our side or even the next streets.Some of those gardens up there are like jungles though and theres often someone with a garden fire going.
We think the foxes den may be in next doors garden because the bottom third of his is full of junk and completely inaccessible.The foxes sunbathe atop the bar he`s built down there most mornings.
Then again,the gardens are all really big and a few people seem to have the back end blocked off so the actual den could be anywhere.

The missus did call the RSPCA this morning though but they told her she would just have to black bag the dead animal and dispose of it herself,or call the local authorities pest control.
The RSPCA didn`t seem too interested in the fact that it had been a family of 4 but we only knew of one live one at the moment.

Thing is I don't think foxes are protected at all

The RSPCA will only come out if we come across an injured animal.Just the possibility of more is not enough it would seem.
Not really much else we can do unfortunately.

they are not but its still an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any animal

the RSPCA can be unhelpful with wild animals though

Without knowing exactly where the foxes den is it would be a nigh on impossible task for anyone to get the remaining animal/s out.Just the back end of the garden next door looks a virtual impossibility to get into.
Even knowing exactly where they were though would be no walk in the park for anyone trying to catch them.
