Two dog foxes


Recommended Posts

Was talking to my aunt today, she lives in devon near ashcombe park, has a heard of cattle and sheep, and the odd chicken and duck. She has two lads who go out with nv and do the pest control, they bagged two dog foxes a few nights back but when they picked them they found both had had the crown jewels removed.... Would these possibly be urban foxes that have been caught snipped then re released?

Well known around here too. I've regularly shot dog and vixen foxes that have shaved patches on their flanks.

 

The really sad bit is that the RSPCA / whichever numpties are doing this are releasing foxes out into rural areas, when the main bit of hunting these foxes do is bin raiding from behind McD's or KFC wrappers. So they associate humanity with food sources. When released out into the countryside, they are starving after a few days, and end up in/around farms. Game over.

 

Would be far more humane for them to just dispatch them at the time, but I suppose they're scared of donations drying up if word got out.

Oh well, means we all keep 'good reason' without any difficulty :good:

Whilst I can understand the logic behind releasing foxes that have undergone some sort of operation I can not see the logic of, say the RPCA, castrating caught up town foxes for the sake of it.

 

I know they are a bit bonkers, but neutering foxes before releasing back into the wild seems crazy even for them.

A couple of years ago we had 22 in the fox traps in 3 months most of them just sat and looked at you with no fear and one had a docked tail as neat as my springer,the wild ones went mental as you went near the traps, we can only put that amount down to them being released on the country park opposite
