The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has shared some of the most “weird and wonderful” incidents the charity’s officers were called to across the year.
These included a sheep whose head was trapped in a fence in Worcestershire, an exotic sugar glider that landed in a man’s flat in London, a sheep stuck in mud in North Yorkshire, and a fox that invaded a family’s house in London.
Other notable rescues included a sheep on a cliff in Wales, and a dog that had fallen into a manhole cover in Hampshire.
A recurring theme in RSPCA rescues in 2022 was foxes getting their head stuck in things, including a vixen that became trapped in a watering can in Colchester, Essex, in February.
In the same month, a fox found with a large tin can of dog food in Barking, London, proved to be a warning on “how dangerous litter can be”, according to RSPCA inspector Dale Grant.
Another April rescue saw a seagull zip-wired to freedom after it was left hanging from a telephone line in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear after a fishing lure in its foot had become snagged.
RSPCA inspectorate commissioner Dermot Murphy said: “With our teams out rescuing animals from danger and suffering 365 days a year, we are often their only hope.
“It’s an honour to be able to lend a hand to animals in desperate need and we hope people enjoy seeing some of the weird and wonderful places animals have found themselves in need of our help.”
The charity released the videos as it appealed for funds for its staff, who are often called out to rescue stricken animals across the country.
