Authorities are investigating after well-intentioned Buddhists reportedly released more than 1,000 rescued Arctic foxes into a mountainside amid claims that the captive-bred animals will find it difficult to survive.
Footage taken on the outskirts of Jilin, a city in north-eastern China’s Jilin Province, shows a lorry full of caged white foxes (Vulpes lagopus) which are said to have been saved from the fur trade.
The video circulating on social media shows what reports say are more than 1,000 animals, many of which appear overweight after having been specifically bred to several times their normal size in order to produce larger pelts.
