It was with concern I read the article about the fox cub being kept as a pet (The Argus, April 30).

Trevor Weeks, of East Sussex Wildlife Rescue Ambulance, is right in pleading for this cub's welfare by asking the person concerned to hand it over for correct rearing and eventual release into the wild.

Please remember, keeping a wild animal is cruel - they are born to run free. Please do not deny them this right.
