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".......

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Actually, that sounds like a bit like Monty Python having a go at the Iraqi 'information minister'. Not the best of analogies if you ask me

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.

what's the foxs face got to do with it also?
