From the Nashville Tennessean:
Tommy Fox was driving home from his job in Dover Wednesday at about 11 p.m. when a beautiful red fox dashed in front of his SUV.
After he ran over the fox, he stopped his GMC Jimmy to get the fox to cut off its tail for a souvenir, and he put it in the back seat, said Dale Grandstaff, a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wildlife officer.
"The tails are real bushy and pretty and thick this time of year," Grandstaff said.
Things took an odd turn when Fox heard a noise coming from his back seat and realized the fox was alive — and not happy.


And I just watched Tommy Boy yesterday.

This is straight out of a bad comedy. Can we all say Tommy Boy? Only an idiot would not make sure the animal was dead before putting it in their car.

The wildlife resources officer says, "foxes don't like to be cage, especially if they're alive".
That's a LOL'er
