Taxidermy of an Hong Kong Fox Would Be Nice Confirmation. Sadly, The Response Was Not What I Hoped For

Because physical evidence would prove what I believe I sent this to the Hong Kong Biodiversity Museum:

Hello.
My name is Terry Hooper and I specialise in wild canids -I set up the British Fox and Wild Canid Study in 1976.

What I found out I posted on my blog. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
