lurcher330 2,297 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 lurcher330, the pic hardly shows the fox attacking or holding a live lamb. paulus, the sheep looked restrained somehow, maybe caught up in a fence? the fox was poking around it for sure, hardly went in for the kill lol. good research lads but i'm not convinced yet. in this day and age of nightvision etc surely someone would record something of note rather than the mountains of footage of foxes scavenging carcasses on hill farms? we'l just have to keep our fingers crossed Plus the pic is photoshopped, its not real. no it's not here is a link to more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CandyAppleRed 4 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi Guys I have joined this forum to put a few things right about some of my photos that have been used on here - a three part series of sheep being chased by a fox in the lake district. Firstly, these pictures are copyright and are stamped as such with my watermark on Flickr - I do not mind a link to the flickr page but please do not use them "cut and paste", and to GD Waz earlier in this thread who wants to use one of the pictures, please contact me with details and I will be happy to discuss it with you. These photos get used out of context a lot on forums like these and the real story of what happened very rarely gets told properly.1Wally, I can assure you that the photos are all real, not photoshopped or altered in any way other than cropping. The incident took place in Loweswater in the Lake District in May 2009. The fox approached the lamb, there was a chase and after a brief standoff, the fox attacked the lamb. The lamb somehow fought it off and the fox retreated. Thanks for listenening - I am not here to engage in any pro/anti debate, just to set the record straight.

lurcher330 2,297 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hello Candy Apple Red i took one of the pics from Google images ,it must not of being marked as copyrighted other wise it would come out on the post but the others where so they cant be posted. the only reason i put it up was to show to one member that foxes do attack lambs that wanted to see a pic as proof. that lamb did fend the fox off but if it was a lamb that was only a few days old the fox would have had it. ps some great pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are other Google Image methods as well. so flickr tells you when the link has been posted somewhere? I didn't know that! I wouldn't worry about what the image could be used for, I don't see what it could be used for that isn't actually happening...if you know what I mean? I know you don't want to get drawn into the pro/anti hunting debate, but many people claim that foxes are no threat to sheep, whether someone is pro hunting or not they can't deny it when they've got photographic evidence such as your pics! nice pics by the way. Can you post on the link of a hare bringing down a cow now please? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CandyAppleRed 4 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ah, the famous hare and cow one,.. now where did I put that again? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trooperman 73 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 its not that the anti's dont believe that a fox kills young lamb's and chickens,,,it that they think it is part of nature and wild animals kill other animals for food,,,the fact they can see no further than the end of their nose,,,what realy gets me is that they say what they do is in the health of the animals what they dont do is show the state of their farms that they keep their own rescue animals in.. the RSPA had to destroy over 400 animals last year that were kept in animal welfare farms,,,they dont like to mention that. paul 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
