    Foxy? Wants to be picked up in Dublin? Drop it outside Coppers, they'll shift anything in that place.

    The other foxes will eat it tonight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,201 ✭✭✭Man with broke phone


    Four or five of them sitting on the pillars along the gardens of the street wineing like foook the other night. Whole street awake. This fox business is getting out of hand.

    They dont look like fluffy cartoon foxes, they are the size of skinny labradors and look like zombie dogs with their mange.

    Something needs to be done before somebody trips over one of them early one dark morning and gets savaged by them.

    They dont run away anymore.

    Crows and other scavengers will be at it before the night

    They are terrified of humans

    There’s a lot of them around lately, a lot of chickens being killed in my locality at night. We need a controlled cull like we do with deer. Thankfully I saw a local hunt last week but small numbers only 3 horses and about ten hounds but we need more.

    I appreciate the worry in rural settings, especially for farmers. I am in the the big schmoke. They are everywhere after midnight. I have no issue, they are keeping the rats away.

    Your right and also correct they are no danger to humans, very afraid of them. When you see one run in complete stony silence it’s some sight.

    This time of year the young foxes have reached maturity, or at least the fox equivalent of teenagers, and are scattering, looking to find territories of their own for the winter.

    Carnage on the roads, that's Darwinism, happens at this time every year. The canniest survive.

    Come November, you'll see, the streets will be silent of foxes. The lucky ones will mate around New Years.

    The 3 are from 2 of the most respected families in our community, great neighbors. your post says a lot more about you than them.

    Ah yes, the local English gentry fed your grandparents their scraps and your family/village is forever in their debt.

    Animal abuse is animal abuse.
    Being chased, hunted and savaged by a pack of dogs really shows their character.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a 100% carnivore, but nobody in Ireland eats foxes.
    So they abuse animals for sport, it's completely unnecessary.

    I was wondering what this thread was going to wind up like.

    Good bye all.

    FLM.... Fox lives matter.

    In other news (as opposed to https://www.foxnews.com/), for the first time in my life I saw a red squirrel a few weeks ago.

    People who want houses encroaching on the countryside should expect and respect wildlife.
