New Prohibition on Keeping Red Foxes as Pets

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) has asked the Virginia Board of Veterinary Medicine to send out the following information: A recent VDGIF regulatory change prohibits the acquisition of new red fox pets after July 1, 2017.  This prohibition was deemed necessary because of the lack of a commercially available rabies vaccine that is licensed for use in foxes and the consequent risk that pet foxes pose to the public. For a person to legally possess a pet red fox obtained prior to July 1, 2017, a declaration of such possession was to be sent in writing to VDGIF by January 1, 2018. The deadline has now been extended to June 30, 2018. The VDGIF advises all veterinarians to ascertain legal status prior to examining or treating any pet fox.

Tips for Responsible Wildlife Viewing Wildlife Watchers Creed (Adopted by the National Partners in Watchable Wildlife)

We, as wildlife watchers, will put the needs and safety of wildlife first, conserve wildlife and habitats, and respect the rights of others. We will seek wildlife watching experiences that reward us with the gift of seeing animals behaving naturally in their own environments. Recognizing the importance of learning specific codes of ethics for observing birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects in the wild, we will adhere to these guiding principles:

Increase your viewing opportunities by: + using binoculars, spotting scopes and viewing blinds for a closer view + moving slowly and quietly to increase your chances of seeing wildlife and minimize disturbance to wildlife + passing up scented lotions, perfumes or colognes which can broadcast your presence + staying clear of nests and dens so parents will not abandon young and predators will not be attracted by your presence
