Fox legal to kill.

It's how you kill.


Marmora Man is right about others moving in.


We certainly do seem to have a population explosion. I've seen five or six different foxes in ten minutes walking along Court Lane, and there are 2 living within 20 yards of my gate. I reckon the traditional urban densities (up to 30 per km2) are being exceeded by a huge margin.

^ your seriously not comparing a family pet to a fox are you???

Foxes are not pets you plonker! They are vermin.... this is my whole point.

With an answer like that, I can only assume that you seem to think foxes are cute 'pet' like creatures.... ?

"your seriously not comparing a family pet to a fox are you???"


No, I'm making the point that it's probably prohibited to dispose of a dead dog or fox in your household rubbish.


"With an answer like that, I can only assume that you seem to think foxes are cute 'pet' like creatures.... ?"


Well, you're wrong, I don't.

Sue, I have reported to the council.

I get a similar response from them as i do from JCTG.... 'it's just not legal!!!'


I've had enough of that crap! they are a pest/ vermin! why should they be given the green card??

Action now required....

Something about feeding the troll.


Just as an FYI, the administrators are required to give up log details to the police if they fear a criminal act has, or is about to take place.


There is easily sufficient data in the logs to cross check with ISPs to identify the originating PC for online postings.


I'm sure it wouldn't then take too much effort to identify the user with the personality of an attention seeking 14 year old boy.

Erm, ok! Troll, 14yr old??? Meh!

Really........

Look, i'm none of the above, although you are entitled to make your own judgments of course...


Firstly i'm not really bothered by threats of the law as they can't seem to find a stolen bike let alone solve any major case of rodent/vermin/minor mammal murder.


For me,my friends next door and across the road. Foxes are a major pest.


And for all the reasons you state above that i am supposedly unable to do anything about it.

....I am!


Because no one else will

That's right pearson, YOU ARE the Enforcer... ridding the streets of vermin, operating outside the law, protecting the rights of the innocent. I'll bet the women swoon when they see you strutting the streets in your big cloak and eye mask ;-)


pearson, you need to think for a moment why putting poisons in publically accessible areas is illegal. Why would the goverment stop us putting poisons where houshold pets and small children could access them?


Why would you think it's reasonable that poisoning cats is okay in your ridiculously poorly informed vendetta on foxes?


You know this is borderline psychotic don't you? You need to keep taking the meds mate.

I know foxhunting is illegal - but is killing foxes in your own garden illegal too?


pearson is clearly demented, and I wouldn't ring the RSPCA because I suspect he is all talk, but if you do have a fox problem, how is it different to any other vermin problem?

PS ? I?m not advocating killing foxes on sight. I?m happy so one in the garden etc etc.


But they are vermin, they breed in the wild and some sort of culling is not beyond the pale. And if people have too many in their garden and want rid of them how is that different from having a mice or rat infestation?

No wonder there are so many missing cats in the area. I really hope one day you'll realise what pain you've caused owners who have lost their loved family pets. Shame people with no compassion like you didn't die off with the old generation. Karma often get's it's way - certainly hope it does with you.

"And if people have too many in their garden and want rid of them how is that different from having a mice or rat infestation?"


Because poisoning them is illegal (unlike for rats and mice). As are most traps (ditto). The only legal traps are free running snares which are probably not permitted in urban areas. In addition, what would you do with the fox after you've caught it in this trap?

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
