fox attack.

[buster red 66]

irish sun newspaper page 19 sunday nov 4. an angler has been scarred for life after waking up in his tent to find a fox with its jaws locked on to his face.dad of three andrew thomas who had been night fishing for carp felt the animals fangs mauling his cheek. the forty one year old then squeezed the foxs snout to stop it breathing and it ran off. andrew from uckfield england said it was a scary way to wake up.i felt this thing clamp onto the side of my face. i thought what the hell has latched on to me. shaken andrew needed 26 stitches to close his wounds. im lucky i didint lose my eye he said, i probly turned over or snored and spooked him. an animal expert said , this sort of attack very rare. what do yous make of that lads .

They do seem to be quite rare occasions but they do happen. Could've been a young child. I personally would've strangled the fecker ;-)

Do you guys ever have Rabies cases over there? Over here, usually when foxes attack a human, they turn out to be rabid.....

the sooner somethings done about these rogue foxs the better its probably an inner city fox who has no fear of humans

is this fella right in the head so are kids might be food for foxs

A Countryside Alliance spokesman said: “Foxes are opportunistic predators and in some situations it is understandable that they might see a sleeping angler as a potential food

Bet the fella had tins of spam and all sorts of yummy stuff for old charlie laying around and i'd say it just tried grabbing the wrong thing.
