lord forbid someone thought different to you about something.
anyway, from the pictures of the alleged attacker (the fox), I'm surprised that, for such a savage attack, the white mouth and chest of the fox isn't covered in blood. it's quite clear to see that the photographed animal does not have blood over it. the report also says
this leaves room for the position that not only was this not the fox, but indeed that it might not have been a fox at all that committed the offence. some people seem very quick to jump on the band wagon and place blame where no
conclusive evidence has been submitted, only a statement and assumptions. you wouldn't kill a man based on one persons comment that the man had done wrong without
proof.
why is it ok to do the same to an animal - more than that, and entire species? we're talking about people trying to initiate a cull of urban foxes here. imagine if someone were to try and kill all Jewish people because they felt wrongly done by a few....
it's madness - this whole thing has gotten well out of hand and it appears a LOT of people are falling into the angry mob trap here (thanks for that Fleet Street). I don;t deny the children are in a bad way from what I've heard, and yes, that is a terrible thing, but there is nothing in this entire story thus far that proves without reasonable doubt that a fox mauled these children. and now, the fox, that apparently just stood in the room staring at the mother when she entered, has suddenly turned into a kidnapping animal!! WTF??? get a grip people - step back and take a good look at what's happening here...
I think, before we start killing innocent animals, we wait for the hard evidence - more than just a womans story, which is what it is at this stage. a court would not throw someone in prison on the same basis. and for those of you who now turn and say 'But these things are vicious animals' well take a good look at what the human race is becoming. you need look no further than this event and in some cases, perhaps this very thread. vicious animals indeed.
