Plastic bags can be used as gloves if the equipment isn’t available. The bag should be leak-proof. Multiple plastic bags are a good idea. Take the dead fox out of the bag and place it inside the bag.
Step 3
You must properly handle the dead Fox so its sharp claws and nails don’t puncture the bag. After you have placed the dead fox in the bag, close it. You must tie the bag properly. To seal the bag properly, you can use a twist tie.
