"and fills my bed with rabies and fleas."
The only animals still carrying rabies in the UK are bats.
I bet that will never change…
Change is the only constant...
Well then, I guess that day could be today!
Not that different from cats whom their owners allow to roam.
We don't know, perhaps she vaccinates and washes that fox.
We do know, read the damn thing
I've read it and saw that apparently while she doesn't do that to the fox itself, she's qualified in working with wild animals and knows what to do if bitten, and also sanitizes everything after those, eh, visits.
No word of vaccination, though.
As another commenter noted, no rabies in the UK. Still not a great idea
Bruh I thought this was about the other Fox News...
You sure it isn't?!?
If Fox News climbs into bed with me, it doesn't "fill my heart with joy"
I really detest these stories where people are like “oh how cute” without realizing how messed up it is. Its extremely likely that someone has been feeding that fox, even if this woman isnt the one doing it. Most likely she probably is feeding it
Foxes do not naturally behave this way. They should show an instinctive fear of people, not cuddle up with them. Foxes arent a domestic animal.
When people feed wild animals they do shit like this, and then 99% of the time its only a short while before they display aggressive behavior towards someone that doesnt feed them and end up getting killed for it.
The best thing you can do for an animal that displays this type of behavior is scare it away and try to nudge it back towards natural behavior. The more it views people as a friendly and a potential food source the more likely it is to get killed later.
There are videos and pictures in the article of her feeding the fox. Even if you are right, being judgemental without actually reading the article is dumb.
“The love I have received through her videos is overwhelming,” Lilly shared. “Many people share how Melady Pilcrow’s stories make them smile and how they wait for the ‘bedtime story’ at 8pm.”
Lilly concluded: “I am deeply touched and try to reply to every message I receive.
“Whether I am on the train, at lunch, or preparing for bed, I make time to respond.
“It is a lot of work, but the beautiful people who take the time to reach out deserve my heartfelt response.”
Pretty obvious the real problem is viral social media. This person would have found a different way to self harm for social gratification if this fox didn't show up.

House M.D. taught me everything I need to know about foxes, Brazil nuts, and poisoned pants.
*Spoilers for November 2005.
that is so fucking cool. What a rare treat
Foxes stink like hell.
She does look like the sort of person who would appreciate that
