    Yeah it will be a good one to watch poulo, it will shed some light on what actually happened, its also about people who try to domesticate foxes. The clip I saw for it shows a bloke doin fox control with a rifle.

    That program was shown years ago!
    They just added a few bits about the attack on the two babies!

    Well i supose they had to put somthing together fairly quickly before the story became old news!

    For anyone who didn't see it before, probably thought it was well put together!

    10,000 urban foxes on the loose in London, that is crazy, those wally's feeding them cakes and stuff are fools. Looks like bruce will make a nice livin with his vermin control. He plastered the foxes with his Anchutz .22. He said its not uncommon for people to be bitten by foxes only it is rarely reported, hopefully the ones being bitten are the dicks feeding them.People need to wake up and understand they are vermin, I mean they don,t go around puttin food out for rats so why do it for the foxes.

    Good Documentary though:).

    some amount of them there, 80% of calls about foxes were to find out what they eat and how to make them relax... the lad with the traps will make some nice money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭bazza888


    should be fined for feeding them,if someone reports u or proves your doing! chocolate cakes!and as for the lad with the beard "rescueing" them,Thats the person your up against that says there cute and dont do any harm!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,979 ✭✭✭Eddie B


    Program was originally called meet the foxes.
    Was on channel 4 in April 2007!
    At the time channel 4 got a lot of complaints about them showing cruelty to foxes, and their was outrage about them showing a vixen in cub being shot!

    Bet ya there will still be complaints this time even after the attacks on those kids!!:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭bazza888


    There will be id say!see the old couple saying they dont feed them anymore because theres kids in houses nearby now and that there was none when they used to feed them.

    They can't do much harm in the city besides taking the the odd chicken. As for foxes killing cats for instance, your cat is more likely to get killed by another cat or dog. Also the kids being probably attacked that was once in a blue moon.
    People getting bitten, as you said it's people feeding by hand and it's there own fault for being stupid.

    I've never heard of a cat killing a fox. Both fully grown a fox is much larger than a cat. Unless well cornered most urban dogs wouldn't catch a fox. The biggest danger to foxes are infact cars, especially at this time of year with cubs about. Foxes will eat cats, stomach contents in a study I contributed foxes to had domestic cat inside.

    Agree that hand feeding foxes is stupid.

    hand feeding them is stupid,also picking them up hugging them and such is stupid the guy doing more harm than good id say
