| Re STOP encouraging this vermin! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I am afraid this is correct. Having watched the BBC 1 programme tonight re foxes in suburbia, and the Koupparis children in particular, I have finally changed my mind on the question of foxes. Those kids were savaged, face arms hands and legs, and very badly bitten and mauled, the fox apparently not being at all frightened by the arrival of the parents into the room, which was upstairs. A poster earlier on in this thread said the parents should have taken more care. Such as ?, they should be able to leave their back door open without the risk of animals not only coming into the house, but having the effrontery to go up the stairs and savaging babies. Had this family not had a Baby Alarm system, the kids could even have been killed. As it is, one of these twins is so badly damaged she will need remedial treatment well into her teens. And it is not just a question of attacking children. A few years back when I used to I Mail a cyber friend on AOL late at night, he mentioned the noise outside caused by foxes ( he lived in Islington ) then exclaimed the fox had jumped into the garden, caught the neighbour's cat and made off with it. Such has almost happened where I live and in the past 2 days, friends' cats in St Leonards Road and Eaton Rise have been attacked by foxes, one even when in the company of the owner. One cat was mauled and the other large cat just escaped with his life by zooming up a tree. So the situation has arisen whereby we need to make the decision, do we look after our domestic pets or favour their killers, actual and potential, ie suburban foxes. As I said,I have changed my mind, having hitherto been in favour of foxes, indeed have fed them, but no longer. They must go , and leave our kids and moggies alone. At one time, attacks on cats were rare, but no longer it seems. If a cat disappears, I think the owner must eventually conclude it has been killed and eaten by a fox. |
