Echoing the above! This really warms my heart. You can also contact The Neighbourhood Vets in times of emergency, as they were able to save my little swift & transfer him to a sanctuary. Kindest, Heather {The Wingless Bird}

It's breeding season, so you will see a lot more foxes than usual at this time of year, & they might seem a little more confident.

Highly recommend following @curvywitch88 on her Black Lives Matter UK Protest platforms. These are safe, peaceful & distanced protests you can participate in from the comfort of your homes. Visit her on FB to see the amazing ways people are getting involved. Nothing but love. The event https://www.facebook.com/events/935909903525530/ {with a lot of useful content} has expanded into a page https://www.facebook.com/blacklivesmatterprotestpage/ & share Let's Talk Racism https://www.instagram.com/letstalkracism/ ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Kindest, Heather {The Wingless Bird}

JohnL, whilst I still stand by my earlier post, I have to apologise, as the entirety of the message was aimed at everyone who participates in the aforementioned behaviour, not directly at you. Reading back on my post it looks like I'm aiming a fireball directly at you. Even the opening of your thread did not conjur my reaction, but rather the lively response it recieved. I'm not the most articulate. I'll leave this to DulwichBorn&Bred!

You know what isn't a good look {no, of course you don't} white people with their white privilege showing their complete disregard for the injustice black people face to this day. Between you posting a thread with more concern for some white journalist working for the BBC, PK dragging down a serious topic just to feel that white power coursing through his veins right now, & Malumbu stealing the spotlight with his white fragility, like a group of white people sitting around singing kumbaya is the solution. It didn't work then & it isn't working now. But every single one of you just loves to throw the word "racist" around when you're trying to make them choose a political side, neither of which actually helps the black community. You are the problem. Go back & read those quotes by black men & find those black women to understand why they will not side with you no matter how much you accuse people of racism. Be ashamed of yourselves that not a single one of you bothered to break the silence & confront the issue on systematic racism on a self-proclaimed anti-fascist, labour voting forum. Not a single one of you. DulwichBorn&Bred is mixed race. If she's willing to try, then WTF is your excuse? Sit your asses down & be schooled. {Quote removed because this wasn't aimed directly at JohnL}.

Relevant to what, exactly? This forum's wishful, simplistic blindness to reality, especially in the political sphere?

... Hence why I quoted Martin Luther King, Malcholm X, Thomas Sowell {& the list can continue if you like}. Be part of the solution, not the problem. If you're not willing to listen, then you're not willing to learn. This thread should be left for people like DulwichBorn&Bred & Blah Blah. Some of the rest of you are just pointless.

For a predominantly leftist forum that loves to throw the word "racist" around, I am disappointed that not a single one of you is willing to engage in a discussion with the intention of finding a solution. Congratulations. You are all apart of the problem. Don't bother fixing it. Get back to your hype over white journalists nobody cares about, media & BBC.

Exactly. TheCat, If you are willing to understand & if need be enlightened, you are on the right path. The same cannot be said for the negative messages of unwillingness to solve the problem. I'll just place these right here. Maybe these people can educate themselves, because Martin Luther King & Malcholm X clashed in their solution, but they both agreed on one thing; that the left could not be trusted. Thomas Sowell: Let that sink in. Alveda King {MLK's niece}, Candace Owens https://www.instagram.com/realcandaceowens/.... two black women who voted for Trump. You have to question why that is.

"The man in his 60s has now been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and the woman arrested on suspicion of GBH. They have been released on bail." I'm confused. Heather {The Wingless Bird}

It's extremely hard to get anything out on a forum that is meant to provide locals with important information without hurting the feelings of an admin/moderator, but here goes: /forum/read.php?20,2117352 . The original thread was taken down for exposing the fox killer's address. We cannot be doing this. The original thread was made by another neighbour, not Jackie. Heather {The Wingless Bird}

If this is the purpose of it being lounged, will you allow me to remove it for you, as it in no way takes from it being a serious & local issue that our community should be made aware of? Heather, The Wingless Bird

The following post was originally written & is being lead by @Jackie Maloney {https://www.facebook.com/jackie.maloney.505} "Hi i would like to bring to your attention that a man in East Dulwich has killed a family of foxes, one fox got away and died a terrible death with a trail of blood over 4 gardens 1 cub remaining..... i respect people's options they dislike foxes but to kill the way this man has done i feel is inhuman.... Also i would like to add that the man that shot the foxes told the police it "wasnt a good shot" this is a worry to me as the bullet could pass through the fox and hit something i.e cat dog human ....RSPCA checked the fox over on 28/5/20 two days after it had been shot NO BULLET was found... What this man done has caused a lot of emotional stress to neighbours and they have to live next to him so i am asking if anyone does not agree with this could you please contact me through PM or reply with your comments as we would like to arrange a peaceful protest around the East Dulwich area (social distance).. I HAVE TO ADD THERE IS MORE TO THIS POST THAT I CAN NOT ADD AT THE MOMENT THAT YOU WILL ALL BE HORRIFIED AT ....WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT I WILL POST.... IF ANYONE IS AGAINST THIS PLEASE PM ME FOR MORE INFO.... TROLLS PLEASE DONT OR I WILL REPORT YOU." Please contact @Jackie Maloney {https://www.facebook.com/jackie.maloney.505} directly to show your support, provide helpful advice & participate in a peaceful protest, to protect our urban wildlife & keep our community safe! 🦊🌿 - The original post on the EDF facebook page was removed due to being hijacked.

East Dulwich has some pretty impressive street art. The kingfisher & "fight club" have been my personal top favorites! But, if you've been self-isolating for the past few months, you may not be aware that an NHS mural recently popped up in April, on the shutters of Rise & Bloom, Barry Road, & it's incredible. Tracked & discovered this artist on instagram & turns out he's currently in the process of creating another masterpiece right beside this one, on that empty patch of wall outside Barry's, this weekend. There's a few teasers on his stories @ https://www.instagram.com/atila_8t4/ & so excited to see the finishing piece! Sadly, I'm all stocked up on eggs, otherwise I would have used it as an excuse to feed my curiousity 😅 I hope everyone's taking good care of themselves. Heather {The Wingless Bird}

Uhh... EDguy89, did you just pull apart my comment to prove my point? You are linking articles to unrelated incidences. That is the definition of reaching. Should I pull up every article for black on white crime & draw the conclusion that it's race-driven? No. Your response is rich with speculation, not facts, so I cannot comment. Also, I'm only putting my 2 cents in, not here for a political or race debate. Kthanxbai.

He's a very eloquent speaker & completely agree with his passion. Police brutality is insane in the USA. This could not be a more appropriate time to shed light on the issue & bring change {without violence & the burning down of cities}. Stay safe, guys. Heather {The Wingless Bird}

JohnL Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Lots of "black lives matter" chants - they have > the right to protest and what happened in the > States was disgusting. Except literally nobody is disagreeing with that. We are all shaken by this - it's horrific & I am furious. But pinning an evil act by one person on & against an entire race is just reaching. I've yet to see any evidence that this was race-driven. Just a soulless scumbag exercising power he should never have been given.

Has anyone attempted to contact a shelter for a TNR of the territorial stray? I'll keep a look out for Theo {& if you need any help with printing &/or pinning a few flyers just email me on [email protected]} Kindest, Heather {The Wingless Bird} purple01 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- they're worried because it was only recently attacked by the big tabby stray that is on heat / very territorial atm.

Absolutely! Sammy, feel free to DM or email me at [email protected] if there's any way I can help & support your case x Heather {The Wingless Bird} tiddles Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- If there is a legal crowdfunding thing keen to be kept in the loop

This is so sad. Can a moderator please whip away the details of their location so not to bring unwanted attention? There's a lot of unfair speculation when in reality any one of us could find ourselves in a similar situation, so as macutd has already said, please try to put yourselves in their shoes... I'll make an attempt to help them this evening, but they may just wish to be left alone & we need to respect their wishes {& privacy!} Heather {The Wingless Bird} EDIT: Thanks, Snake!

If you think a wildlife crime is being committed then you can report it to the Police Wildlife Crime Unit online or by calling 101. You can also report wildlife crime anonymously to Crimestoppers, by calling calling 0800 555 111.

first mate, my thoughts exactly!

Sammy, please contact The Fox Project http://foxproject.org.uk/! I will do the same as I'd be very interested to know how they would deal with this situation & if there is any way we can at least have these foxes relocated. You say the RSPCA are coming round to inspect the body for cause of death... These horrific images appear to have been taken in someone's garden. Did this happen in your garden?!

Since the 2m distancing has been such a rare sighting, I don't think there are many people in a position to do this?
