A red fox enclosure has areas of metal fencing that can potentially cause harm to the animals contained within. The enclosure housing two adult red foxes has a metal fence along with chicken wire attached to the inside surface with zip ties. The foxes have chewed the zip ties holding the bottom portion of the chicken wire and have created a gap approximately 10-12” between the wire and the metal fence. During inspection the red foxes were seen sticking their head underneath the chicken wire and up to the fence. Loose wire fencing can pose a risk to the animals in the enclosure and allow them to become injured or entrapped. Correct by ensuring facilities and housing structures are structurally sound and maintained in good repair to protect the animals from injury and contain them. Correct by July 12, 2021
