we have gone to this park everyday for about two weeks now (in mi) and these foxes are in a small cage, very skinny, losing fur, spider webs everywhere, nothing in the bowls and they are dirty, cages look like they havent been cleaned in forever!!!
we met the guy, who donated them but he cant get them back, this zoo that the guy works for wants them.
he told us to talk to the city but he said it wouldnt do much good.
the park is public but i guess the petting zoo is privetly owned.
we talked to someone at the park and she was of no help said they were fine, just had a vet there, losing fur because of heat.
what can i do befor these poor things die!!!

Call a animal rights organization or your local pound. It won't matter to them whether it is private or public. If you can get no local help, email the Humane Society of America for suggestions. Good for you. Find out who in your community is an animal lover-like the mayor or a newspaper or TV personality and ask them for help. Television often offers hot lines. Call them. Call your local Humane Society. Keep calling until you get the help. You can even call your zoo, someone there can help. Go online and see if you can find any artic foxes hotlines and talk to them. Even if a person or group can't help you, ask them if they know someone who might. It is each person's responsibility to be sure all animals are properly cared for. If you still can't find help, email me and I will see who I can find. I'm no where near you but I can pack a wallop.

Seriously, you need to alert the media about this "private zoo", if they do not know how to keep their foxes in good conditions, just imagine what they are doing to the other animals. If you alert the media, they can do a story on the zoo. Also, you need to contact PETA immediately, go to their website and email them. Go back to the zoo, take pictures (as proof to email PETA, Congress, and the Media)and keep hounding the "zookeepers" for answers.
Also, you could always sneak into the zoo late at night and let the foxes out yourself.
