All Red Foxes are the by-product of farming processes, or culled by Australian farmers and hunters. Sourced sustainably and produced at our own Roman Tannery here in Melbourne Australia. Each Red Foxtail will have slight variations as this a natural product. Each Foxtail Keyring is measured at 30cm+.

100% Red Fox Australia
Sustainably sourced and processed in Australia
Versatile use perfect for your keys, your bag, hanging off as an ornament or hanging off your computer desk or chair
Materials: 100% Red Fox Australia
Country of Origin: Australia

Where do we source our Red Fox from?

Did you know Red Foxes Australia outnumber the Australian human population 2 to 1? Their population is at its highest on record. The problem with this is that they are eating large amounts of our native animals. The Red Fox was introduced into Australia in the 1870's for recreational hunting. Within 20 years, population had expanded to such an extent that the Fox was declared a pest. Foxes are now found in all states and territories except Tasmania.

We buy our Red Fox Australia skins from local farmers, who have government permits to cull Red Fox on their land. This way Australian farmers make a profit from culling a pest and UGG Australia® is making use of something that would otherwise be discarded. Buying Red Fox is not only good for the environment but it is also sustainable, keeping money within Australia and local businesses.

    Use a different adaptor and this would sold out in 10 seconds 😉

      Probably cheaper to buy the plug edition in the first place. Then change it to a keyring once adaptor is worn out :)

      I hate that this is what we all immediately thought

    • +29

      No issue with killing foxes. Bigger issue with calling them "Australian". They are European Red Foxes, nothing Australian about them.

    • +18

      Did you read the rest of the post? Or are you familiar with culling on invasive problem species?

      Certain animals are culled deliberately because of overpopulation and because they threaten native fauna and flora. This post suggests that this is what is happening with the Red Fox.

      If so, this is an ethical product. To be contrasted to animal products where the animals are bred solely to produce a product, and where the animals are not infrequently kept in poor conditions—like chickens, pigs, and other animals we eat.

    • +21

      You do realise that foxes are an introduced species that cause a tremendous amount of damage to the ecosystem through killing native wildlife?! This product may not be for everyone but killing foxes in Australia is actually a positive thing.

    • +20

      you kill an organism to put on a keyring of another one. It is sickening.

      No, a farmer kills a pest, which is destroying native wildlife such as koalas, potaroos, echidnas, bilbys, bandicoots, blue tongue lizards, etc rather then just throwing away, like your soy latte cup, they're actually using it.

      Here's an article from an actually informed knowledgeable source, the Australian National University explaining the devastation foxes cause on native wildlife.

      https://science.anu.edu.au/news-events/news/17-million-foxes…

      Foxes kill about 300 million native mammals, birds and reptiles each year,

      Cats and foxes, for example, have played a big role in most of Australia’s 34 mammal extinctions,

      They’ve been recorded killing 114 species, or 40% of all land mammal species and half of all threatened mammal species.

      So rather then you're ill-thought click-bait outrage, have a think.

      But having said that, i agree the ecologically processed line is meaningless marketing hyperbole, in fact I'd say it doesn't even make sense .

    • +5

      Tell that to my 3 chickens that had their heads bitten off by one of these. Having said that though,are the soles made here or in China? How long does one of these last, how’s the workmanship?

      • are the soles made here or in China?

        ¿Qué? Soles on keyring?

          This company/rep have been very opaque about the origin of the soles of their "Australian made" ugg shoes. It's an ongoing saga.

      Same. The UGGs slippers I bought from them had the fluff all gone in a matter of weeks and then the sole peeled off making it unusable in two to three months of light use.

    Let me guess… These are sustainably farmed, eco friendly, free range, carbon neutral, ethically sourced, environmentally sound, free trade, humane fox tails??

    While I welcome the destruction of introduced species, such as foxes, it should remain at that, destruction, not the glorification by turning them into consumer items.

    Anyway, just how ratchet does someone have to be to want a foxtail hanging from their keys? Cant wait until next weeks "rabbit's foot" lucky charm key rings.

    • +4

      Good idea with the rabbit foot keyring! Feral rabbits absolutely decimate the Australian landscape and native animals habitats.

      Fact is the main way the government attempts to keep the feral foxes under control is by using 1080 poison, by baiting dead animals hoping the foxes will eat it. Unfortunately this also inhumanly kills any native carnivores that eat it it as well, this has lead to a huge decrease in our native eagles and dingoes. Poison is a horrible way to go.

      Companies selling products made from feral pests is a great economic incentive to keep the populations under control, otherwise it's relies on the government/your taxes.

      • Humans have done more damage to the landscape. Just saying…

        • +4

          But what are you saying? I agree they have, they also introduced rabbits and foxes to Australia… That's why I think it's our responsibility to help rid the landscape of these pests. Your comment doesn't seem to have a point ?

        • +2

          You're right… we should start controlling human pests in a similar manner /s

      • -1

        Good idea with the rabbit foot keyring…

        You missed the point… Cats and dogs are also introduced species. How much outrage do you think there would be if OP were selling cat and dog tail key rings on here? (InB4: "BuT bUt BuT, CaTz aNd DoGs ArE nOt ThE SaMeZ!!1!!1"… oh, yes they are. Cats probably more so than foxes…)

        Or where was all the outrage when they were skinning and making floor rugs out of "native" Australian wallabies, just so bogans would have somewhere to wipe their feet when the came home to their psuedo-meth labs?

        I am all for the destruction of any introduced feral animals, but offering up their body parts for sale on a bargain website isn't the the great "EcOnOmiC iNcEnTiVe" that you think it is… Not when the farmers/shooters are getting $10 per fox "scalp" and the fact that most shooters are just as happy killing foxes as they are collecting them for any bounty.

        In Victoria (OP's state), the bounty on a fox is $10 per "scalp." There is absolutely no incentive to submit a whole body, this includes the tail, because no other body parts are accepted.

        No body parts other than an entire fox scalp including both ears, the skin surrounding both eyes and the nose will be accepted.

        So, just where the (fropanity) are Ugg getting these "tails" from? Because it sure as hell isnt from the Vic. state government bounty.

        And if foxes are a huge problem, why is the bounty for a fox $10, but a wild dog is $120. A wild dog is 12x the bounty of a fox. Maybe OP needs to have a wild dog tail keyrings next time, instead of rabbits if you really think that "economic incentives" actually work…

        • +1

          Obviously there would be outrage at dog and cat key rings, but really if they were harvested from the feral population and there were actually buyers for them I have no problem with it. 100% cats are even worse than foxes, I agree with you.

          They are only getting $10 a scalp in Victoria though, there is no bounty program in NSW and I don't believe other states have them either. I just think if there is a market for feral animal parts it should be utilized, along with farmers/shooters and the government programs. Every fox that gets destroyed = native animals surviving.

          I would assume the tails are being sought from professional shooters who come across foxes while working on roo and pig harvests. That is just a guess though I obviously don't know how they are sourcing them.

          The bounty for foxes are lower because there are way more of them and wild dogs are insanely hard to hunt, I have shot hundreds of foxes but only ever come across 5 - 6 wild dogs even though I'm hunting in areas where they are 100% there.

    I am no greenie but walking around with an animal's tail as a keyring for mild amusement is just not right. Seems like an idea from at least 150 years ago, maybe more.

      do you shed a tear when a Queenslander takes a 3-Iron to a cane toad too?

      • +2

        No, and I would welcome it… But what I don't think we need is "cane toad coin purses" on OzBargain.

        You are conflating the idea that "I don't want glorified dead animal parts on OzBargain" as being the same as animal rights activists… And it's just not the case. Killing cane toads is not the same as making something from their dead corpse and posting that dead corpse as a "deal".

        No one is saying "dont kill the foxes", they are just saying, kill them, but we don't need parts of their dead corpses as trophies showing up on a bargain website.

      • +3

        Canetoad killing makes sense. Shooting foxes makes sense. They are both invasive species and need to be dealt with.
        Cutting a fox's tail off and walking around with it like a prize, not so much.

        • I hope you dont have any wool or leather products.

          • +3

            @Laserface: Sure do. Shoes are practical and necessary and wool products dont involve killing the animal so I cant agree with you on those points.
            Like I said, I'm no greenie and I love a good barbecue with the rest of them but no one actually needs a foxes tail, it's just for (slightly macabre) amusement

            • +2

              @King Tightarse:

              no one actually needs a foxes tail

              But what will I attach to the top of my radio aerial on my FB Holden?

      • +5

        do you shed a tear when a Queenslander takes a 3-Iron to a cane toad too?

        Yeah, I do: Sure we need to eradicate cane toads (and other introduced pests), but not revel in cruelty to animals. There are far more humane ways (recommended and advocated) to do this.

        Ponder this: a cane toad (or feral cat/pig/goat/fox) etc may do a ton of damage, but it isn't an evil creature. Having been thrust into a new environment (by us - the real villains), it's doing what every creature on this planet was designed to do: adapt, survive and thrive.

        How you address problem animals says more about you than them.

    It's great seeing all these positive opinions on controlling pests like foxes, but what would be better is if we could post deals on the best tool we have available to conduct that control in the first place…

    • +1

      yeah but birth control is another contentious issue. If there had been birth control used then maybe the idiots might not have been around to want to introduce European pests for hunting in the first place. Birth control would solve a lot of issues of idiots breeding idiots.

  • RIP fox McCloud…😅
