Tommy Fox should have made sure the fox he picked up was dead
Tommy Fox ran over a fox, then stopped his GMC Jimmy to get it to cut off its tail for a souvenir. He put it in the back seat, then realized the animal wasn't dead. Fox flipped his vehicle when he tried to deal with the situation. (Tennessean.com)

Grandstaff said "there was nothing wrong with Tommy Fox taking the animal after striking it. But foxes don't like to be caged, especially when they are alive, he said."
REALLY??!!?? I just love it when people state the obvious. I dont suppose they would mind being caged if they were dead....

I ran over a rattlesnake(25 yrs ago) and stopped to cut of the rattles, when I picked it up (by the tail) it swung around and tried to bite me, that was the single most stupidest thing I have ever done! To this day my cousin still calls me snake boy

That's even more of an excuse not to use my car to go hunting in the off season.
And yes, I have used my car to go hunting. When I worked night shift I'd go huntin' for "possums" with my car. Them things just don't die with a gun....you gotta run 'em down.
cue banjo music....

Imagine what might have happened if his name was Tommy Bear. Or Tommy Buck. Or Tommy Woodchuck....

every one knows that after you run an animal over you have to hit repeatedly it with a flashlight before you pick up.

Tommy learned from the school of hard knocks
Not to ever assume that a fox
Which he thought, in his head,
He had bumped off, was dead --
Tommy's Jimmy wound up on the rocks!
