Garden goal net warning as West Yorkshire fox cubs get in a tangle

People with football goal nets in their gardens have been asked to pack them away following use after two fox cubs were found tangled in the netting.

The foxes were found in gardens in West Yorkshire with the nets wound tightly around their necks, but were eventually released unharmed, the RSPCA said.

May is always a peak month for netting entanglements as young animals make their initial forays, the charity said.

RSPCA officer Allesha Haddlesey said: "Football netting can be lethal."

The stricken female cubs were discovered in netting in gardens in Alwoodley, Leeds, and Wrose, Bradford, in recent weeks.

According to Anadolu Agency (AA), the bridge to be built over the river would link the two neighboring countries between the Ipsala border gate in Turkey and the Kipi border gate in Greece.
