bignoel Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 just a thought noel , but what are your opinions on this attack ?? dog bite or fact that it is a fox ?? my opinion on this is a fox is a oppertunist hunter and a crying baby upstairs in a house to a hungrey fox with proberly 5 mouths to feed would sound like a distressed animal .and we all know what foxes think of animals in distress DINNER . it is possible i would say althou it does not hunt humans as a source of food but does not mean the odd hungrey fox would not try his luck on a baby given the chance after all they will carry away a young piglet /lamb and just maybe this fox tried to attempt to carry off the distressed child causeing the injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) my opinion on this is a fox is a oppertunist hunter and a crying baby upstairs in a house to a hungrey fox with proberly 5 mouths to feed would sound like a distressed animal .and we all know what foxes think of animals in distress DINNER . it is possible i would say althou it does not hunt humans as a source of food but does not mean the odd hungrey fox would not try his luck on a baby given the chance after all they will carry away a young piglet /lamb and just maybe this fox tried to attempt to carry off the distressed child causeing the injuries Don't know if anyone can help here or do some VERY swift Googling but you would do well to find out what BO's views are on predator control in rural environments. We all know his attitude towards birds but you may just stay one step ahead if you know, possibly, the arguments he is likely to use. Remember, he is good at this and has spent most of his life in front of tv cameras, you can also bet your a.r.s.e. he has had a press team putting together a brief and a response. Just wouldn't want to see you back footed, I know it's late but is there anyone at BASC who could give you any advice? Hmmm here's one little snippet from his website: "Foxes Again a matter of getting lucky. Or unlucky, if you're kept awake by the blood curdling noises foxes make! Urban foxes are getting bolder. Last year, I had one refuse to move from its sleeping place by my back door; whilst another wouldn't leave the garden until he'd eaten a whole brood of newly fledged Blackbirds! Sad, but he was ever so handsome." Guess that answers that then but I am unsure as to his attitude when it comes to crop/livestock and revenue protection. I doubt very much any argument for culling to protect humans will carry much weight as it is such a freak incident...

Spaniel Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Maybe explain the reason why this accident may of taken place , and why people need to be careful. Also explain the damage then can do and this is the reason why you carry out pest control at the request of farmers etc....but i wouldnt get into a conversation of the rights and wrongs of it to be honest. Then invite him out for a session live on air....and see what is reaction will be Good Luck I shall watch it tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordofthewings Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think if I was being asked for an opinion then that is what I would give, and refuse to get caught in a debate, one in which the media does it,s best to keep on the boil.
