Twp. of Washington NJ, in April we reported on a Fox incident in Ridgewood . We have heard there have been some issues in Twp. of Washington as well. Problems associated with foxes include depredation on domestic animals, perceptions of danger to humans (healthy foxes pose virtually no danger to humans), and their potential to carry disease organisms. Foxes will prey on small livestock such as ducks, chickens, rabbits, and young lambs, but generally do not bother larger livestock. Cats may also be preyed on.
