An RSPCA Inspector had a shock, when she was called out for a sick fox in Exeter because it turned out to be a stuffed one.
Inspector Ellie Burt went to Farm Hill after a local resident grew concerned for a fox that had been hiding under a bush in the area. When she arrived she quickly realised it wasn't a live fox - but a stuffed one.
She says He'd clearly been placed under a bush as a prank. They discarded it to avoid any further calls.
