The RSPCA is urging people to put away their garden football nets when not in use to help minimise the numbers of animals caught in them
Animal welfare organisation the RSPCA has urged families to put away the football nets immediately after use this summer, as they could trap and entangle animals. And, with Euro 2024 starting tomorrow , it's especially important – as many households will be getting out their kits and football nets in time for the matches.
This is because animals – including pet cats – can get caught in them, leading to injuries and even death. 'We’re all looking forward to a summer of sport – including the Euros, Copa America and the Olympics – and many of us will be having our own kick abouts in the garden. But we urge people to be aware of the dangers of football and other netting.''The problem is so serious that during this May, we dealt with 53 incidents of netting-entangled foxes – mostly cubs – and that sadly included at least one fox cub death.
