Why Shouldn T Foxes Be Hunted?

The animal I was given for this assignment was the Channel Island Fox. They are considered to be near extinction animals with nearly about 2,500 fox left (last checked 2008). The Channel Island Fox is a type of fox that only lives on the Channel Islands, which is located around the coast of Southern California in about 19 to 61 miles away from the continental state. On a clear day in California, many visitors have the chance to see the islands over the shores. Within the eight islands, only six of the islands have the Channel Island Fox on their land. The six islands are San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Santa Catalina, San Nicolas and San Clemente. Each island has different features which has given each island fox a different trait compared to each one, but they are still considered as Island Fox.

Kit foxes, also called Vulpes Macrotis are among the smallest foxes in America. The kit fox is very easily mistaken for a dog however when you look at their appearance you realize that proportions are not that of a dog's. Many people often confuse the kit fox with its larger cousin, the grey desert fox.

They turned out to be both predation by non-native golden eagles on Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel, and canine distemper virus on Santa Catalina Island. In order to prevent extinction, the remaining foxes had to be protected from disease and predation. Secondly, the threats that the population was exposed to had to be eliminated because unless the fox populations were free from predation and disease, even the most successful program would not produce enough animals to prevent extinction

I’m going to start doing a few days’ carpentry work here and there with Toby, I figured, I’m always out the back building something, I may as well go do pretty much the same thing and get paid for it lol… I’ve also been looking (not very hard though) for a new place, something a bit smaller and cheaper! Even if I put in all of my centrelink payments for the month, it’s still not enough to cover rent lol plus I just want to get out of this joint anyway and I want somewhere better for Pedro. I feel bad that he has to stay in that little fenced area I made while he’s outside so I want to find somewhere with a smaller backyard with proper fences so he can just roam the backyard and do what he wants and, there has been so many foxes in my backyard lately! I went outside the other night to yell at Pedro because he wouldn’t stop barking and there was a massive fox just sitting in the middle of the backyard staring at him so I’m suss on them attacking him and even though he’s a fox terrier (which originally were bred specifically to hunt foxes lol) he will buckle for sure we both know how much of a bitch he is

The San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) is a small, desert fox that persists primarily around the perimeter of the San Joaquin Valley in central California. It is an endangered subspecies of the more widely occurring kit fox. The fox eats primarily kangaroo rats where their ranges overlap, or a variety of other food sources (voles, ground squirrels, rats, mice, insects). The current population size for the San Joaquin kit fox is unknown, but estimates are 90%) habitat overlaps with areas designated by areas of potential solar

The Santa Catalina Island Fox (Urocyon litroralis catalinae) is a close relative to the mainland gray fox and they are endemic to Channel Islands. Using genetic testing and the morphological species concept, scientists have identified that U.l. catalinae are introduced from mainland to the island by Native Americans about 10,000 to 13,000 years ago (USFWS 2015). Originally, these foxes occupied several different islands such as Santa Cruz Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara Island and San Clemente Islands. Most fox populations on these islands were listed as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act in March, 2004 due to its drastic decline in number of individuals (USFWS 2004). For the recovery plan analysis, I will only focus on U.l.catalinae because this subspecies remained listed as Threatened while all other subspecies on other islands were already delisted as of August 8, 2016 (USFWS 2016).

For this fox,his days of killing chickens, rabbits and Squirrills looked like coming to an end.

The Vulpes Vulpes (the red fox) adapt well to suburban and rural communities. Large predators have been pushed away from areas with humans however, red foxes “took advantage of the changed habitat”. “They live in parks and woodland edges and red foxes will readily eat whatever is available. Red foxes are solitary, so it is easy for them to hide and escape people” (National wildlife federation https://www.nwf.org/Wildlife/Wildlife-Library/Mammals/Red-Fox.aspx). Red foxes can be found throughout the United States from Alaska to Florida. The smallest population is in the Southwest, where it is not common to see a red fox. In New York state, a lot of red foxes can be found in places like upstate, long island and new Jersey in forests and therefore

The main reason for the creation of the Elk Hills Habitat Conservation Area is because humans are disturbing and destructing their natural habitat for cultivation or urbanization. The change in the Central Valley from open grasslands to farms, orchards, houses and roads has had the greatest impact on San Joaquin kit foxes, causing death, illness, injury, difficulty in finding a mate and difficulty in finding food. (Wildlife, 2014).

The Fennec Fox, native to North Africa and the Middle East, isn't currently considered an endangered species, but its territory is under threat from tourism and development. The Fennec Fox is considered one of the 15 cutest endangered animals.The Fennec Fox is my favorite animal because it is adorable, it adapts to its environment, and its strong loyalty to it’s family.

As described earlier, Little Red Scarf provides financial and social support for the treatment of children with congenital heart disease who live in poor rural areas. Financial support covers part or all of the costs of the medical care provided at our partner hospitals in Lanzhou. Based on each family’s need, support usually covers part or all of a child’s surgical procedures. Social support includes outreach to impoverished families in the countryside, care and information during a family’s hospital stay, and follow-up contact and longer-term educational programs for families after the surgeries. Our programming continues to evolve as we find out more about our beneficiaries’ needs and challenges.

The swift fox is endangered for a number of reasons. One reason the swift fox is endangered is because they are being killed by coyotes. Coyotes are the primary predator of the swift fox.Another reason why the swift fox is endangered is because of humans. They are constantly being killed in auto wrecks caused by people. The next reason why swift fox are becoming endangered is because of what we are doing to their habitats. We are tearing down their habitats and forcing them to move somewhere else. This makes it difficult for swift foxes because they’ll have to find another source of food.

What the lion cannot manage to do, the fox can. Foxes are one of the smartest animals in the world. The fox can be called “wily” because of the tasks they do in order to survive their daily lives. The foxes diet, enemies, birth, habitat, and anatomy has allowed it to thrive throughout the world.

Wolves and foxes are similar yet very different animals in the wild. They belong to the same family and have a lot of the same features. But they also have a lot of differences such as their location, diet, size, and species number.
