Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Now he’s come to the defence of the urban fox and, as for accounts of them attacking humans, he simply doesn’t believe them.
He told Radio Times that fears the animals had ‘gone bad, attacking everything’, were without foundation.
‘Validated assaults on dogs and cats are nonexistent, except under exceptional circumstances,’ he said. ‘And as for attacks on humans – I’ll be necessarily diplomatic – I don’t believe it.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...=feeds-newsxml
Hardly nonexistent when I've seen it with my own eyes, perhaps that was under exceptional circumstances, those circumstances perhaps being it was exceptionally hungry, same with my pal who had to have his dog put down after a fox bit it, the million plus Google hits on Foxes attacking and eating cats must all be made up to and that City Council in Scotland that actually said cats were on the menu when they switched over to wheelie bins, can't remember where in Scotland or how many thousands had been eaten but they were telling fibs nevertheless and I like the way he has a dig at cats genocidal impunity conveniently forgetting the huge numbers of hedge hogs also on foxys menu.
Suppose this is made up to Packham
A schoolboy had a shock when he returned from the playground to find a FOX asleep in his BED.

Whenever experts like this dope pipe up it makes me consider not stopping next time I see a fox in the road.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
I discount most of the stories myself.However foxes are still wild animals that are predators and as urban animals are nearer to being vermin that raid dustbins and really aren't suited to city life.
I certainly don't want them hunted but I do want to see them being 'controlled' and managed just as we do with other wild animals such as badgers and deer.

MMM a tad over emotive .Cats are doing what comes natural ,as are foxes .The other thing he fails to realise is that urban foxes are essentially the same as stray dogs .We don't allow stray dogs to roam the streets ,so why should we allow foxes to roam the streets ?
He then goes on to say ,

They won't be self regulating if groups such as the rspca and NFWS ,etc keep rescuing sick foxes instead of letting them die naturally

Of course, that's why we don't have any issues with rats. Animals are self regulating when it comes to population, like the Chinese.
Urban foxes are vermin, they should be trapped and killed.

Foxes have very few natural predators ,in fact i cannot think of one .In the wild disease and overcrowding regulate fox numbers .In urban areas the same applies with the exception that groups such as NFWS rescue sick/injured foxes negating the natural process .These groups should be banned from rescuing foxes they should be destroyed if found to have diseases like sarcoptic mange instead of cured

In this country  .There is to my knowledge only one natural predator and that is the Golden eagle .You may ocasionally see badgers have a go at a fox but that is not predatory

Thats better than what i have put below
Much better than being chased relentlessly by people with dogs and horses until the fox drops to the floor exhausted. Then it is ripped to pieces by a pack of dogs while so called humans laugh and scream with ENJOYMENT at its pain.
They are in my eye's nothing more than barbarians. These same so called humans also allow children to watch this barbaric act and the adults if you can call them that then enjoy spreading the blood of the dead animal on the kids faces.
BTW i have seen it when i have been out in the past with the hunt saboteurs.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
What give anyone the right to kill a animal, if any animal can be cured who are we to decide they should die. you would do the same for you pet if it was sick you would have them taken to the vet.
No animal should have to been to control the population.
