City urged to act on urban foxes menace

Calls to consider cull or capture amid spate of attacks

COUNCIL chiefs have been urged to investigate fox control methods after it emerged dozens of pets across the Capital have been attacked.
The Evening News has been flooded with calls from distraught animal lovers whose pets have been set upon by the predators.

So far, readers have reported that 11 rabbits, ten cats, three guinea pigs and a peacock have been killed by urban foxes, while a dog, four cats and a tortoise have been attacked.

Other householders have spotted the animals causing mess and destruction in their gardens.

One woman said she phoned the council after she was trapped in her house by three foxes snarling at her door.

Yvonne Dunn, 30, from Restalrig, said she believed the animals smelt her three-year-old child inside the house.

“Our area is infested, they’re a real pest,” she said.

Nine-year-old Mary Erskine’s pupil Rachel Mi had her rabbit, Peter, taken by a fox last week.

She said: “My gran was going to feed him, but when she got there, he wasn’t in the cage.

“The cage was locked, but the netting had been torn off and there was fur all over the ground.”

Rachel, who lives on Craigleith Avenue North, said the fox had made a return visit to Peter’s cage after the rabbit was taken.

“We saw it sniffing around where Peter’s cage used to be a couple of days ago,” she said.

And Nicola Fyne, who lives on Easter Road, said she and her father had lost four rabbits and two guinea pigs to foxes.

think your right pink, and i do hope it works out as it is believe it or not too, if they self regulate and dont do more damage then im all for it staying banned like i have said before they are beautiful animals as is most of gods creatures, trouble is they have no predator other than man and hound but woudl be good if it settles ok without the hunting

ok we are going off the point of the thread and getting personal so i’ll bow out now as i aint arguing the toss for the hell of it
