South Dublin cc picked up our dead fox

KevRossi · 06-09-2020 9:12am

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

Hope the car is OK.

The other foxes will eat it tonight

Man with broke phone · 06-09-2020 2:04pm

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.

It's maggoty weather. They won't leave much of him after a few days

Could you or some neighbor give the kids something different for lunch tomorrow!

Jesus there is a lot of people trying hard to be funny on the first place and no one landing a punchline.

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.

No. We don't.

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.

IAMAMORON · 06-09-2020 4:11pm

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

Good bye all.

How do you know it was Urban? Was it wearing air max and tracksuit bottoms?

greasepalm · 06-09-2020 4:16pm

Was the owner of car driving a black vw polo FOX ?

TuringBot47 · 06-09-2020 4:17pm

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.

If a cull is needed then there are better ways than a bunch of idiots out for some perverse version of 'fun'.

What a pile of nonsense most notably your final line.

you can sell the fox fur for 25 euro

It's not really a great way of controlling foxes though.

Does what make a difference, being ripped apart by hounds (oh of course that doesn't happen does it?

) or some humane killing - what do you think?

Or is this just you showing your inverted snobbery

Not at all just hate people who inflict terror and pain on an animal in the name of 'fun'.

No thanks, I'm picky about the company I keep.

Brand_New · 06-09-2020 4:30pm

It's now urban areas that have out of control fox populations.

Have the hunts moved to the suburbs of Dublin to help combat this?

That lot used to claim they were doing their civic duty to control foxes and they got dressed up in uniform for the fun.

When their torture and cruelty were revealed, they now argue very few foxes are killed, it's just harmless fun chasing them!

You might respect their families, but they are behaving like absolute scum.

And if my post says anything about me, it's probably that I don't enjoy violently ripping a beautiful animal to pieces just for shíts and giggles and that I think anybody that does is a sociopath.

That might be true. I would say you prefer bickering about it online though, lets be honest here, you are more fond of getting nasty with your keyboard over some edgy topic like fox hunting?

I like watership down , that does not give me the right to be hostile towards someone who enjoys rabbit stew.

Get real.

Rubberchikken · 06-09-2020 5:29pm

Maybe if bloody fool car drivers slowed down foxes and other animals and vunerable road users would stand a chance.

I hope the car that hit this poor fella didn't get off too lightly. Shame on the driver.

You do know it’s the dogs that do the actual killing in a foxhunt. No condemnation of their actions ?

Have you or any of your friends tried to train these animals to use the pathways provided.

Tuco88 · 06-09-2020 5:36pm

Bring back the big bad wolf... Its the circle of life. I can hear the whinging already... To sort out the wolf problem the polar bear will do the job.

We can lure the polar bear into traps with foxes mints...

Two of these were teenage girls. They are not doing this for fun at all, they are doing a service for their community. If you believe anyone gets a kick out of ripping an animal to pieces then I suggest you expand your horizons and learn more about your fellow countryman and woman.
