Shop staff contacted the RSPCA when they spotted the animal's body protruding from the bait box behind the Co-op store on High Park Drive in Bradford.

RSPCA inspector John Gibson initially tried to prise the creature from the trap with washing up liquid but ended up cutting the box.

He said the fox hadn't gone far enough into the box to be hit by the "break-back" trap which had been activated.Insp Gibson said bait boxes were within the law and were used by pest control companies to prevent "non-target species" from getting stuck.

However, he said it was difficult to "completely prevent" other animals from accessing the box, and this young fox "was small enough to be able to push her head inside".

Mr Gibson said the animal was "clearly shocked" by the incident on Wednesday, but when released nearby, she ran off "clearly knowing where she was going".
