Quite right as with all vermin to many people find them cute and continue to feed them and never blame themselves in cases like this as they see it as a good turn feeding the poor creature.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Today's defination of Injustice: A Fox is apparently responsible for attacking two young babies and is caught a day or so later and is humanely killed. So here comes the injustice part: While the FOX is killed for attacking the two babies - the monster people of this world, who kill and murder children are allowed to live.

Yeah because that regularly used to happen before the ban, the amount of times I was delayed at Tower Bridge due to them 'maurauding' through was beyond a joke, how about we don't use rural hunting as an excuse for doing nothing about this urban blight.

Allowing people in red to hunt foxes on horseback is not the answer either, that is just forelock tugging.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
when I watched the 2 foxes outside in the street the other week, I wouldnt say they were scared of me and in fact I think one in the dark was approaching my open front door out of view with the other distracting me standing in the street watching so I then closed my door. Of course I am scared of dogs so that had a factor, although these foxes were very small in comparison to most dogs.

Like any animal the more contact it has with humans the less fear it'll show as time passes, obviously this would be the case concerning urban foxes not rural ones.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
I knew somebody would post about these babies on here.
But as Terry Nutkins said: "There is more to the story than meets the eye. Why would a fox attack two people? A fox will attack a human if it is trapped. They won't go out of their way to attack a human."
My view is exactly the same.

I don't agree with either, personally
Mind you, I've never understood boxing either, watching two people beat each other senseless always seemed rather, well, primitive?

Tbh I dont think much of your experts, one said
He has never known of a fox attacking a human, calling this one a "completely unique event" in his 40-year career. He said it was a "freak incident" which he thought "will never be repeated".
I know of 2 incidents very similar within the last 10 years and the other tried to make out it was a cat or a dog even when the mother said
"I put on the light and I saw a fox and it wasn't even scared of me, it just looked me straight in the eye.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
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.

Wonder if those condemning the fox would shout as load about the hunt dogs if they attacked a person or got out of hand. Also i don't seem to remember them being so vocal when its a normal dog that attacks a kid. ????

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
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)

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
I don't believe for a second that a fox harmed those children... it just doesn't add up.
I hope the truth comes out very soon, before anyone starts harming foxes!
