There is a huge difference between someone deliberatly torturing an innocent animal for commercial spectacle, to someone being electrocuted to death.

The picture in the Guardian today, from a different angle, was totally mad.

Well done the bull. I vote give the bull a second chance to finish the job off.

Are there bands of compassion, depending on the extent/seriousness of the injury?

Or, is it, as someone one unequivocally stated

When you stated "you", did you mean "we", or were you not included in the overarching statement?

No fuzziness, only binary?

btw, I think compassion is fuzzy, not binary, but I wasn't the one who stated otherwise.

When the Darwin award guy fried himself STEALING i said so what its his own fault and its one less to feed in jail. I say the same for this idiot but its a shame the bull did not finish him off.

You are right, that was a flippant remark and I stand duly corrected.

Nine-month-old twin girls are seriously ill in hospital after being mauled by a fox as they slept in their cots in east London.

Very similar to other reports of children being attacked by dogs. Does not matter what the breed they are all capable of it. I feel for the 2 kids that were in the house, What a horrible thing to happen. I hope they recover and get well soon. And of course the vet did the right thing. At least it was done humanly and without a boat load of so called humans baying and screaming for blood. Makes you wonder why these traps are not used more often as they seem to have done the job in this case ????

We keep being told that foxes are scared of us and are timid little animals :rolleyes: Except anyone who bothered to look will have found quite a different story

The count will also examine how foxes are becoming bolder, as an increasing number of homeowners are reporting finding animals intruding into their homes and are no longer deterred by humans.

Part of which is undoubtedly due to the morons that insist on feeding the mange filled vermin

I hope they are, it's just a pity that it has taken something like this before we even think about starting to act.

Hardly a unbiased and scientific test really; getting a bunch of Torygraph readers to count foxes in their area. Not much of an agenda there then.

While I feel sorry for the 2 little girls and their parents this cannot be used as an excuse to allow fox hunting to rear its ugly head again.

Imagine the riders in red and their baying hounds maurauding through city streets.:erm:

I would add that it is down to people feeding them and the leftover fast food wrappers/poor storage of food waste that caused this attack.

From the article
Quote:

The data will be fed to biologists at the mammal research unit at Bristol University, where they are carrying out the longest running study into foxes in the UK, as part of their ongoing work.
and
Quote:

The Wildlife Trust encouraged people to take part in The Urban Fox Count and be inspired by wildlife in the UK.

A spokesman said: "The Wildlife Trusts welcome the opportunity for everyone to find out more about wildlife. There is a wealth of wildlife on our doorstep and we believe it's great for people of all ages to be aware, show an interest and share their experiences too. "
