Strange one from London. Apparently a fox attacked a baby. Ouch...

Unbelievable the lengths that some parents will go to try and one up the Charlie bit my finger video.

This seems to happen every 4 or 5 years so I think we should kill all the foxes.

So is Freddie Starr now calling himself 'Fox'. Probably couldn't find the hamster.

Changing the way people store their rubbish would sort out the fox problem far more effectively than any cull!

The meat factories has just found a new cheap source €€€

Considering the amount of foxes there are and how closely they tend to live to humans, an attack once every 4 - 5 years isn't actually too bad.

Ouch, right in the England.

It's a terrible thing to happen but what the fcuk was the mother thinking? Even if the door was broke, wouldn't you put something up against it or something to stop potential burglars or worse getting in when she has a 4 week old in the house? (As well as foxes of course)

It's always someone elses fault these days. Common sense doesn't seem to be that common anymore unfortunately

I agree. Especially in a big city like London.

Galwayguy35 · 10-02-2013 05:18PM

Yeah we should kill all the foxes:rolleyes:

It's not the animals fault, in it's mind a baby is no different to a hare or rabbit.

People leaving out leftover food for them to eat or leaving rubbish outside is attracting foxes to peoples houses.

The foxes were always there, people decided to build cities and the foxes are adapting to these surroundings.
I would imagine they actually do a good job of keeping rodent numbers down as they like to eat rats and mice.

That'll learn the anti-fox hunting crowd

The problem is that towns and cities are expanding out to rural areas and taking the foxes habitat. Wheelie bins have replaced bins so foraging is more difficult and the foxes have to eat something to survive. Bloody stupid woman should be more careful. I wouldn't leave my door unlocked let alone open. She was lucky something worse didn't happen.

You don't blame the council for not fixing the door or the fox or whoever leaves food where the fox can get it or with the best will in the world accidents will happen,you blame the mother?

It wasn't me.

Inbreds on horses with packs of dogs thundering through suburban streets and leaping over garden walls- should work a treat.

This is what I meant when I said It's always someone elses fault now, it's the councils fault for not fixing the door, it's the foxes fault (a fox is a wild animal ffs) etc, when it could have been prevented by just using a bit of sense.

Well your blaming someone else as well,there's never just one person to blame for an accident.

I think he was only joking about culling the foxes:P

We have a lot of foxes here too, how come nothing like this ever happens here?
