The "aggressive" fox that Capitol Police captured Tuesday tested positive for rabies after biting at least nine people around Capitol Hill, according to District of Columbia Department of Health officials.
The female fox was "humanely euthanized" earlier Wednesday in order to test it for rabies, DC Health said Wednesday evening, noting that the agency is contacting "all human victims who were bitten by the fox."
Some on the internet were quick to call for the fox -- who was captured with the help of the Humane Rescue Alliance -- to be freed.
"As a fox, I cannot speak. And too often -- I have nobody to speak for me. They mock me in songs, they wear me as clothes, and they hunt me down like a criminal in my home. For what, I ask you?" the statement said.

As a fox, I cannot speak . . .
BS. A whole is dedicated to fox-speak.

The poor animal probably got the rabies from the Democrat he bit.

Fox is better off being euthanized than dying from rabies.

The mistake this fox made was BITING A DEMONRAT..
This FEMALE fox was probably setting up a DEN ahead of pregnancy and do I believe she had rabies? HELL NO. This fox was protecting her turf against human invaders!
The LYING media can say whatever they want but I believe this fox was only defending her den area.

Dem congressmen are rabid anyway, just like this fox.
The fox was merely hanging out with other rabid creatures.

I never heard of anyone getting bit by a fox when President Trump was in office.

The fox should have known that a gingerbread man trying to cross the Potomac River was bad news.
