Malicious Mail

[Urban Fox Control London 8]

Got an email sent to me via an advertising site. I wouldn't normally pay it much interest apart from when it said 'What goes around comes around'.

 

I have forwarded it to my FEO for reference in case for further harrassment from this individual.

 

It read:

 

"How cruel are you..leave the foxes alone..they do no harm and so what if they go in a garden..you are just making money out of suffering and pathedic..the worse thing you can do is kill foxes..I happen to feed the foxes and their cubs..just money grabbing person..you won't get any luck for it what goes around comes around especially with dumb animals"

had a few comments like that myself, normally forget about them, I know everything I do is 100% legal,

It is not the animals that are dumb - it is morons who post things like that

 

Perhaps he would like to pay your inner city schools a visit to clean up the fox mess from the playground? Or explain to little Johnny why his pet rabbits were killed in their garden hutch during the night? Or help to clean up the torn bin bags littering the streets ... the list goes on.

 

The fox is as much a menace in town as it is in the countryside

That message could be considered a veiled threat.

Fine if someone wants to feed the foxes and gets pleasure from watching them on their patch so be it . It takes all sorts and I try to extend the same tolerence to other's ways of life and sensibilities as I hope they might extend to mine.Extremism and intolerence tend to create unheatlthy situations .

I've just finished a fox removal job on a school field . Those in power were very loathe to go ahead and had been putting it off but the Rugby pitches were becoming very unsavoury places and in the end they relented . Every fox I took had very bad mange and some were quite emaciated .

This is the sort of thing that many people don't realise .

It would be a soul-less person indeed who failed to find something about the fox's ability to survive and adapt admirable and they are certainly a very interesting member of our natural wild-life.

Between the beliefs of those who think the only good fox is a dead one and the folk who view them through rose tinted specs there are some uncomfortable truths to be addresses by both extremes .

You are right. I haven't trapped a healthy looking fox for years in London. The calls usually come in from people concerned over the foxes themselves being mangy, sick and fouling all over the place, especially in schools where the main concern is the health & safety of their pupils and staff.

 

I have forward my FEO a copy of the email to see what he can make of it, in case more follow from the originator and it starts to get personal.

Hopefuly it was the work of someone who just used ill-judged language rather than a serious threat.

I posted a picture a while back of one of two foxes that I'd shot in a wood shed next to our local park.It actually had maggots feeding on its sores .The customer lives in a house with a large garden in a sort of fox paradise . Hospital grounds ,school ,public park,town centre ,railway and duck-pond all within a tiny radius . She actually once watched one mange ridden fox drop dead on her lawn!
