Milestones

We want the Government to ensure: 1. Regulation and licensing for keepers and breeders 2. Protection of native wildlife and rescue operations 3. Introduction of new standards for care and enclosures 4. Regulation of wild fox rescues.

We feel that current legislation under the Animal Welfare Act fails to address the specific needs of both native and non-native foxes. We believe the government should regulate fox keeping to ensure clear, well-defined standards of care.
