RSPCA issues World Cup warning after wildlife caught in goal netting

The RSPCA's warning comes as the World Cup approaches, an event that often sees the installation of goal nets in gardens and public spaces across the UK. As people set up their own makeshift football goals, the charity is highlighting the potential risks to local wildlife, which can inadvertently become trapped in the netting. The charity's concerns are focused on the welfare of animals such as foxes, which are common in urban and rural areas and can easily become entangled in nets.
