I saw this on the news earlier, never heard of this happening before.
Hope the kid is OK, looked OK in the piccie they showed.
BTW If a dog bites a child (and i sincerly hope they do not) should they hunt it down with foxes then

Just saw on the news that a fox has bitten a baby. What could be the problem there then...... ooo maybe bring back hunting and the little buggers will still be scared of humans and leave us in peace.

Lucky it was in this country, otherwise It'd have been Rabies shots for the kid. Not nice.
Foxes are bold as brass these days though. Probably the result of old ladies and other idiots feeding them.

If over-fluffy urban dimwits didn't feed them then foxes wouldn't be attracted to their gardens.
The foxes you see in cities aren't even in good condition, At least country foxes get a good work out with the hounds occaisionally, helps keep 'em in the peak of health.

When I lived in Bow, E. London (Tower Hamlets Borough), there were foxes in the gardens at the back of the house. They used to regularly come & play/hunt/**** in our back garden, not to mention knock over the bin for a scavenge.
Rang up "Pest Control" as they were crapping all over the place & Ez was just a tidler, but soon to want to venture o/side.
Nothing they were prepared to do.
Offered me a telephone number that was a premium rate pre-recorded thing about putting eco-friendly deterents (Lion poo?) about.
"So I can shoot them then?" - oh no!! Certainly not allowed
Against law, arrest etc
"But I legally would be able to hunt them for sport with dogs and horses then?"
"err..."
Bollox burocracy
The image of a pack of dogs and horses & huntsmen all dressed in their togs (like piccy) cantering down the Roman Road amused me
In the end, it was chickenwire on top of the walls & in the gaps that (I think) kept them out - then we moved to the country & I haven't seen any

Notcie how every fox expert they interviewed inferred that it didn't happen that way i.e. all the "unheard of"/"totally out of character comments".
It was probably a Red Setter

That would never work....cows are controlled by squirrels with remote control devices. Ever wonder why cows look so dozy? There's no brain in the cranium - it's all hard wiring and remote sensors.... Them cheeky blighters the squirrels are in the trees working 2 cows each - can get up to 5 if they are well-trained and show an aptitude. Highest recorded Squirrel to Cow ratio was 1 to 17, but Cedric the Squirrel will be sorely missed....
Anyway - that's why squirrels chunter and throw nuts at you (not their own, I hasten to add). They are calling to each other to get the cows co-ordinated and don't want you to see the remote control units.
It's all so obvious....

I understand now. So when they are burying nuts - it's really mobile antennae to control the cows over an increased range.
Just one question though, where do the foxes come in.
