New evidence confirms that the previously documented fox image incident involving Jayne’s Baby Bank was not isolated.
A second unauthorised fox image has now been identified, presented publicly as the organisation’s “venue” and used to support claims of an operational animal rescue. Both incidents are directly linked to fundraising messaging for a rescue that does not exist in any verifiable, registered, or operational form.
1) The “Venue” Image and Public Claims
On 20 January, Jayne’s Baby Bank published a post introducing:
“The New Caerphilly Bird and Small Animal Rescue Sanctuary TM”
Within the same post, the operator claimed:
- they had “taken over Caerphilly Bird Rescue”;
- the previous owner had received a lifetime ban for animal cruelty;
- they had been “rescuing since 2016”;
- they were in the process of registering a CIC;
- additional fundraising shops would be opened;
- a physical location existed but would not be disclosed to the public.
Alongside these claims, a woodland fox image was presented under the heading:
“Our Venue”
“Foxy loxy – left on bypass for dead”
This creates a clear implication that the image represents a real rescue site operated by Jayne’s Baby Bank.
2) Source Identification – Forest of Dean
Members of the group “Jayne’s Baby Bank Exposed” conducted verification work to identify the origin of the footage. The image was traced to content published by: The Forest of Dean Picture Book
Source video:
This confirms the footage originates from a public woodland location and is not connected to any rescue premises.
3) Owner Confirmation
The original creator of the footage was contacted directly and confirmed:
“I don’t know this woman or the baby bank, and she has no permission from me to use my work.”
This establishes unauthorised use of third-party content and false association with rescue activity.
4) Pattern of Misrepresentation
This is now the second confirmed fox image incident:
- First incident (24 January 2026): stolen TikTok image presented as entering their property and used in fundraising promotion;
- Second incident: Forest of Dean footage presented as a “venue” to support claims of an operational rescue.
Both images were:
- taken from unrelated third parties;
- used without permission;
- presented as evidence of rescue activity or premises;
- linked to fundraising messaging.
This establishes a repeated pattern, not an isolated error.
5) Fundraising Remains Active
The associated crowdfunding page remains live: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/thenewcaerphillybirdandsmallanimalrescuesanctury
At the time of writing, the campaign has raised £7.
The page promotes a “New Caerphilly Bird and Small Animal Rescue Sanctuary” and requests funding for animal care, despite no verifiable evidence of a functioning rescue operation.
6) Public Risk
The use of unauthorised wildlife imagery in this context creates clear risks:
- Misleading donors into believing a rescue facility exists;
- False credibility through visual representation of a non-existent venue;
- Erosion of trust in legitimate, regulated animal rescue organisations.
Conclusion
The evidence now shows a consistent pattern:
- multiple third-party images used without permission;
- those images presented as evidence of rescue activity and premises;
- claims of an operational sanctuary unsupported by any registration or verifiable structure;
- ongoing fundraising tied to those claims.
The second image, presented explicitly as a “venue” within a detailed post claiming control of a rescue and ongoing operations, removes any ambiguity.
This is not incidental misuse. It is the construction of a false operational narrative supported by unauthorised imagery and used in connection with public fundraising.
