“Foxes were here before we were, we now live in the areas they used too then complain when they come to where we live looking for food, I once had a hunt around asking if they could re home a fox I had in my garden, I told them He had not asked me about moving when he did they could re home him then.
A foxes life is survival no different to ours, but when they have no food the die ,how about a bit of live and let live.
As to the mess My foxes always used one area, unlike cats they used the lawn in any area they wanted, to stop cats messing on your lawn Chilli powder and pepper works a treat on a regular basis until the cats move on.”

“Dog mess on the pavements and parks and cat mess in gardens are big problems, especially bad for children who play there.

Should we be allowed to tear cats and dogs to pieces? No, not even those over rich, selfish humans who gain pleasure from harming animals for fun.

I think most grandmas are far more at risk from human animals!”

“Still doesn't give those with ample posteriors and nothing better to do with their time the right to chase them on horseback and then let packs of 'rabid' hounds rip them to shreads in the laughable name of sport.
Hope we never see the return of the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable in this country.”

“I wonder if John Cox's Grandmother has big eyes (all the better to see with)?”

“I think foxes are neither cuddly or lovable, however, whipping up anti fox hysteria serves no one. How come given the huge spread of the urban fox we are not all languishing in a diseased and hairless (mange) state? Rabies indeed.. let's close the channel tunnel that's the biggest threat via bats!!”

“I believe fox hunting itself wasn't banned... just the act of letting dogs savage a fox for no other purpose than a bit of fun...”

“Or maybe foxes are infected by dogs?

Dogs kill - how many fatalities a year are caused by foxes? What we need is for the upper-class twits to start hunting dogs, using packs of foxes.”

“Yes Andrew, by dogs infected by contact with foxes or their urine or faeces!”

“Of course, everything R.B. says about foxes could also apply to dogs.”

“Foxes have become as big a threat in urban areas as they always were in our countryside, ask any farmer! Is this yet another legacy of Blair and New Labour? The pro-fox lobby should consider the diseases they carry which are a threat to not only domesticated pets, but also to humans. Toxicariasis, Weils disease, Hydatid disease, Sarcoptic mange as well as fleas and ticks and in the worst case scenario (and it could and will happen again in the UK) rabies! If there is any evidence of foxes in your area, wear gloves when gardening and avoid letting your children play in your garden, and it's all down to the 'loveable' fox!”
