Take liver and marinate in toothpaste for 4 hours. flash fry in wd40. That's a recipe for a disaster.
The more foxes are fed, the less timid and scared of humans they become
If foxes are not timid and not scared of humans there is a bigger chance of these things happening
nice little blog concerning the attack
i think a pig is able to steadily scrunch through a human.
It was mentioned today in my paper that fortnightly rubbish collections were a cause of the foxes rise in numbers.
So much rubbish now left in black sacks for two weeks at a time, that the foxes are finding food more easily than ever before, so young foxes are not suffering from lack of food.
So they are blaming the councils for an epidemic of fox numbers.
Councils as far as I remember used to cull them but now they will not even help if a tenant is plagued with rats or mice. Not all councils but a lot.
We have foxes in an old ladys garden which backs onto our garden. She is too old to have a rather large garden and consequently it gets hugely overgrown in the summer. There are foxes in her garden and of course they get into ours.
Yes it is lovely waking up to little fox cubs playing at the bottom of my garden, but they do not stay soft and cuddly for long.
The rise in fox numbers is starting to get to a point where they are becoming a problem, and when it reaches a problem something has to be done. They are basically not very nice creatures that carry many diseases. They fall into the same catagory as mice and rats being vermin.
Councils will not spend the money but if as some would say, that too much rubbish left around is causing the rise in fox numbers surviving, then force the councils to start weekly collections up again, and to stop trying to penny pinch.
Fox attacks family pet
An RSPCA spokesman saidthere was “very little recorded evidence” that foxes attacked domestic pets. They advise the “most humane and long-term solution to discourage foxes” is to remove or prevent access to food and shelter, including using barriers, such as fencing or prickly plants, and chemical repellents that are approved for use with foxes.
We went down the two big dogs route to fox discouragement
once the fox has been allowed to walk into people's homes and show its true nature; i expect it won't be long before people wish to see the return of fox hunting, dogs and all.
Protest as marksmen called in to cul-de-sac to kill foxes
A middle class revolt against the "inhumane" slaughter of foxes has forced a pest control company to abandon a planned shooting session.
I wonder if they would feel the same about halting a cull of a nuisance wasps nest, or a rat explosion (not literally of course... rats going bang all over the place is probably quite rare).
Shooting IS the most effective and humane way to deal with foxes. What do these protesters propose the residents do now? Ask the foxes nicely to bugger off to the next street?
Ok, but the point i was making then was about vermin in general and the need for culling.
Off topic somewhat, I think the biggest problem rats cause these days is not disease, (in this country at least) its property/food stock damage.
