” Couple spend hundreds on fox bane”
Oh honestly. That’s a little over the top.
Is it a crime to throw a few outdoor parties during the summer months?
“He also added that he feared the presence of foxes may deter house buyers and affect property prices.”
The nerve.

I saw a fox in the street only yesterday – wandering around bold as brass, as if she owned the place… which of course, she does.
I for one *like* having foxes around the place. Here and in my garden.

You look like quite the party animal in this photo! When you’re done there, feel free to cross the pond and visit my neighborhood. Lots of foxes around here to play with. *G*

are you like Santa?
I mean that not in the sense that you are a bit porky and have a big white beard, but more in the sense that the myth of you exists as one Fox, but there are actually hundreds of Urban Fox’s in the world all doing your work.
(this sounded like a clever idea when I started this comment, now I have no clue what I am blithering on about)

Foxes before profit!
Affect property prices indeed. Mean-spirited old bastard.
We had a family of foxes living in my basement neighbour’s garden earlier this year. The cubs were the delight of the neighbourhood – we were all hanging out the windows of the various flats in fox spotting range, watching the cubs and chatting. It was nice.
If it was my garden, I’d have fed them too. More foxes!

Yay for frolicking foxes!

It gets worse. Check out the readers’ letters!
“I have been waiting for someone to describe foxes as vermin and pests for a very long time”… blah blah blah

Screw ‘em. I, for one, will always look fondly at foxes – especially the urban variety – because of this blog.

A Mr D Mail writes:
“I hate urban foxes/foreigners/young people/eveyone (delete as applicable). They come over here and take all the leftovers, as well as threatening innocent pensioners. Hanging’s too good for them, I say. Bring back the posh people on horses with their dogs. We were all much better off in those days. Why, even Prince Charles used to gallop round urban areas ridding us of this plague of scroungers. I blame those pinko lefties.”

I’m always amazed at how outraged people get when wild animals actually act like…well, wild animals.
I had a sudden earworm of Cindy Lauper’s “Girls just want to have fun” to go along with that picture.
