What backs it

Jerry Vandiver, a Nashville singer-songwriter, has logged thousands of volunteer hours over 7 years baiting and trapping foxes suffering from mange in Tennessee's epidemic, taking them to animal rescue centers for treatment.

Worth noting

Mange is treatable but highly contagious; the article notes it can be fatal through secondary infections, though treatment itself is straightforward.
