A FOX has been found dead with a rope tied around the neck and with horrendous injuries.

The animal was found just off a roundabout in Singleton Hill at Ashford on Tuesday.

It had a snare tied around it and bald legs and puncture wounds to them.

RSPCA inspector Liz Wood said: "It looks as though this poor fox may have been tied up and had a dog set on it. It has suffered horrendous injuries."

A second fox was found dead in Wenlock Road, London. It was well-known and lived behind Shepherdswell Police Station.

It was also found on Tuesday with a rope around the neck and had been beaten on the head.
