littletimmy 71 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I seem to remember a couple of years back reading a news story of a fox atatcking a child that was asleep on a sofa, it had come in through the open patio doors on a summers day, I expect the more they breed in urban areas and the rise in bunny huggers feeding them then at some point summat will happen, and perhaps then the bunny huggers will see that populations need to be controled... Mars........ I doubt it, i was arguing with one on facebook the other day and apparently its more important to control human populations than foxes. So i suggested a mass suicide of all the people like her who feel so strongly, and her going first to lead by example, i havn't heard from her since ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Be honest though it was never a good thing [bANNED TEXT] packs of stray dogs used to roam the streets especialy if you had a bitch in season it was a fekin nightmare with stray dogs camped outside your house.

artic 595 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Last year i was eating my sandwiches by a little cut to one of the farms I hunt on. It was around 3am. I then saw car head lamps approaching me. I knew it wasn't the farmer nor was it anybody invited to shoot/lamp on there as I have the sole permission. This farm holds live stock, sheep, cattle, poultry etc..... As the vehicle got closer (40yrds or so), I turned on my high beams. The vehicle stopped. I got out and approached the vehicle. Inside were 2 people, a man and a woman. I asked them who they were, and they replied that they were the RSPCA. This van I may add wasn't marked with any RSPCA lettereing. They then stepped out of the vehicle and I could see that they were RSPCA uniform. They then produced their ID to me. I then asked them what they were doing here. They replied "We have 2 foxs that we are going to release, these foxs were both trapped in a green house in the town. (The town is 12 miles away). I then told them that they were not to do that for obvious reasons. They didn't want to listen, they had no permission to be at the location. I called the farmer, who as you can imagine was not too pleased and told him who was it his farm and what their intentions were. He was on his way. Between the call to the farmer and him arriving, I had re positioned my vehicle to the rear of their van so they were not able to open the doors. Both officers were not too please, and were questioning my actions. I just ignored them. The farmer had arrived within 5 mins. Both RSPCA officers tried to educate the farmer and justify their reasons for their intended actions. They failed, and were escorted off the farm. I dont know what it is like anywhere else, but here they will try to dump urban foxs into the rural areas asap, and god knows how many they have released. Just to let you know, last winter on this farm alone I shot over 40 foxs,(may not be alot to some of you) and that was on a regular attendance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
