Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting

Lets put it this way, there are many animals that are dangerous if cornered or such a the aroma of 'food or milk' which draws the animal.

If you corner a rat, fox or wild animal they will go for you, and l mean the full teeth job, if an animal smells the aroma of food or milk, they will be drawn to that, if it a child with milk, it will go for the milk, the child has probabely screamed and therefore the fox or any animal then 'fights', anything else is a scandoulous accusation to make.

In all my years l have seen animals do strange things, and nothing more than yesterday, when l pigeon gotr hit by a van, it was attacked by crows, by screetching in pain, then two giant rats came out of a bush, and drag it into the bush for food, l have never seen that before, animals are strange creatures, NEVER mess about with a fox.

Sorry, Arthur, but when I read that phrase, the image sprang to mind of a slightly miffed rat, fox or wild animal giving someone a nasty gum, rather than the "full teeth job".......

<my bad>

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting

has anyone seen any images of the wounds? these would normally be plastered in the tabloids in order to whip up more fear and loathing. does the family have any pets? not seen that reported either way yet either.

More concerning are the burglars and rapists who get into houses even when they don't have back doors left open. Perhaps we should cull them as well. Makes sense. Potentially far more dangerous than a fox that allegedly got in and bit the girls (though I have my doubts about the story the media have been reporting from the mother)

A fox was photographed by a police officer just after a suspected attack on twin baby girls in their home in Hackney, east London.
He spotted the animal through a patio door and took a photo using his mobile phone after the attack on Saturday.

When will you all realise that foxes used to be frightened of humans..But stupid humans keep seeing them as some cute friendly dog and feeding them.

They are predators and now they aren't scared of us anymore they are just as likely to go after vulnerable small babies that cannot get away.They are notorious for killing every chicken in a coop when all they need is one chicken..So I can fully see that they would attack a baby in a cot.

Mind you, I've never understood boxing either, watching two people beat each other senseless always seemed rather, well, primitive?

These two people do it by choice, the fox and to a great degree, the hounds and horses, have none.

yeah I thought similiar when I read it, its like the people who claim dog attacks are not normal and it must indicate some kind of unsusual circumstance.

this attack must be great timing for those who want fox hunting tho.

But dog attacks are not normal.

I hope the truth comes out very soon, before anyone starts harming foxes!

If that was true, it is a bit late now, a fox has already died.

But that is not proof that the attack was made by a fox, even less proof of that it was the same fox.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting

what makes people think it wasn't a fox ? :confused:

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting

I think it is the lack of precise details that give people cause to doubt the veracity of the reports so far.

â€˜My husband came running up, and we were both screaming hysterically â€“ and the fox didnâ€™t even leave the room.

â€˜I put on the light â€“ and I saw a fox, and it wasnâ€™t even scared of me. It just looked me straight in the eye.

seems clear and precise to me

If you're Flyboy, and the facts don't tally with the way you like to see the world, then they could be presented by a line of French ladies doing the Can Can, each of them holding a placard on which is emblazoned "Here are the clear and precise facts" ... and it still wouldn't be enough. ;)

Totally agree.... I smell a rat.. I don't believe a word of it!

And before anyone says it, yes I know 2 babies have been "mauled" by someone or something, I'm just not convinced it was a fox.

Do the family have any pets? Do we know?

I hope the truth comes out soon.

So, you are happy to say it was a fox without a shadow of a doubt? I'm sorry, I'm not convinced.

It's anything, but clear.
