    tell you what why don t we give all the hounds that have been put down due to the fox hunting bann a reprive bring them back to life and give them to city folk to protect there gardens……( didnt see a outcry when this happend )its simple really the public have grown soft people in cities view foxes as cute and feed then ect yes educate people that foxes are infact vermin and will attack both cats rabbits family pets and even children …. i do belive the introduction of weelie bins was in part supposed to have an effect on starving foxes out ( this apparently is more humane than a hunt)…..and what of the “killer fox” that attacked the child ?…..well recent reports have shown they have caught more than one… whats next ?..dna test the foxes to see who was responsible?…..wild animals will always do what they can to get food ,take away the bin bag and replace it with a bin hoping this will starve them out wont work ,they will look else where for food as they are doing…..and when they start getting into the inner city rabbits and guinea pigs the odd chicken that the “inner city farmer keeps”….we will see if the fox hunting bann was right or wrong.

    In the light of the news reports that some poor, defenceless babies have been horrifically mauled by an urban fox, is it time that such animal populations are brought under control?

    Of course not.

    Many babies are, even at this very moment, alertly manning machine-gun turrets and therefore your whole notion is preposterous.

    In fact, it may well be time for you to start going easy on the drugs; let’s face it – you’re hardly getting younger and the Austin Powers’ dance impressions are rapidly losing their general mirth.

    I always knew you were pure evil. Machine gunning foxes is an awful idea. Think of the mess, man, think of the mess. Also, splattered fox clashes horribly with the powder blue of a boy’s room. You can’t win, though. Half-eaten baby’s face doesn’t go with the pink of a girl’s room. It’s a dilemma.

    I must admit I’ve reconsidered the whole urban hunt thing as well. The pitbulls and staffies would just keep veering off and eating slow moving pensioners. They’re the wrong breed all together.

    I’m now convinced mockery is the way forward. I’ve taken to standing in my back garden loudly pointing out in colourful language just how poor Basil Brush’s efforts have been since the eighties. I have to say, I haven’t had any of my children eaten since I started. In fact, I recommend the technique to everyone I talk to. You can’t argue with that sort of data.

    ok……….
    fair enough.

    I’ll never mention you and Austin in the same sentence ever again.
    Take those frilly cuffs and deposit them with pride.

    Every group has their lunatics i guess, perhaps it it they that should be culled, or at least neutered

    It is curious that it seems so easy to combine an abhorrence of vulpicide with a relish to get started with the homicide. I always think so, anyway.

    In the end, these type of issues can’t be worth murdering for, since that implies a kind of eqivalency of fox and human existence. When I consider that, given a hypothetical choice, I would happily see foxes extinct as a world-wide species rather than lose any of my children, while I would have a serious moral quandry over swapping my loss with two or three strangers’ children, the idea that fox lives are in some way equal to human lives becomes a nonsense.

    Then hypothetically we must kill all dogs, hippos, tigers, lions, water buffalo, dingos (allegedly) crocodiles, i’d imagine alligators, bears? any animal that has ever attacked a child, but especially dogs.
