Dead fox over Greendale


Recommended Posts

Hi all,


I found a decapitated fox over Greendale this morning. Just a heads up as my dogs were extremely interested in it and I had to drag them away. It's over the bit that's really overgrown so easily avoided. Quite a horrific sight. Can't think what would've done that to it.


😒😞

I was up at 5am this morning and looked out our window to see a fix running along Wanley road with what I thought might have been a cat in its mouth...it was huge with a long tail but I couldn?t see well enough to really confirm. Maybe it was another fox and perhaps they had been fighting or something? There are a huge amount of them that live in the green space.

Is that the mythical human that kills cats and other small to medium sized mammals, or just someone's dog? Or perhaps a car that hit it...


Probably better to tell the council.

It?s a long way from a road and doesn?t look like it?s got any bite wounds but it?s head is missing and it?s been partially skinned. Not sure what would cause these injuries but it?s a bit alarming and definitely sad as it was a lovely fox that I often saw while walking my dog.

I noticed the partial skinning too.


I have been in touch with SNARL and they asked me to take more photos today (a thoroughly unpleasant job) I have sent them the photos and they will take a look and decide if they need to investigate further.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may beΒ  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
