Foxes Breeding in Tassy

Worrisome news has come from Tasmanian environment officials who have identified a fox carcass in the supposedly "fox-free" state. The carcass was a juvenile fox which means the foxes are breeding in the state. "If foxes were to get a permanent foothold in Tasmania, the cost to agriculture would run to many millions of dollars," he said. "It would be catastrophic for our unique biodiversity. It's the one thing that we never, ever wanted to find."
