Gaynor Hill Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 At around 2am on overhill rd a car was shooting at a little fox probably a air rifle made lots of shots Is there anything I can do about thisSo sadGaynor Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
intexasatthe moment Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 What an upsetting thing to witness ,horrible for you .I hope none of the shot hit the fox . I don't know what to suggest - maybe the non urgent police line 101 . Obviously they can't do anything now but I imagine they would want to log details of someone taking pot shots from a car .Hope you can get some sleep after this .

IlonaM Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Also, I would report to the RSPCA. Again, they will add to their logs and maybe will link it to any injured foxes brought on from this area.

KidKruger Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 anybody using an air rifle in the street or any public place should be reported to the police immediately it is witnessed. this is not only an animal welfare issue, just as using a shotgun on a fox in the street would not be.

Jim1234 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Did you get the reg plate? It could the Croydon 'cat killer'(also targets other animals, including foxes) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/#findComment-1258905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1964 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 If you got the plate definitely report to the police. Horrible. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/#findComment-1258922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flocker spotter Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 let not conflate this cat killer issue with every incident in the SE - anyone shooting or displaying a gun in public should really be reported to the cops on 999 immediately - its not really an issue for judgement - its a gun in public Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/#findComment-1258925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaynor Hill Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Did not get reg once I saw what was happening just ducked behind balcony did not want them to see mePolice are coming to see me as they said it's serious someone going around shooting from a carThanks allGaynor Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/#findComment-1258926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 There are some Very 'Sick' people out there.. You cannot fire an Air-gun / Rifle in any public place. * **it is illegal to have an airgun, loaded or not, and whether in a secure case or not, in any public place without lawful authority to do so, or reasonable excuse.UK Law. http://www.ukpreppersguide.co.uk/airgun-laws-uk-air-rifle-and-air-pistol-law/DulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/#findComment-1258932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arborealist Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Whereabouts on Overhill Road was this Gaynor? From what you say about railings I am thinking Dawson's Heights?

Passiflora Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 How terrible! What sort of person picks on a defenceless animal?!Just to warn people that the cat killer is still at large and killed a family members cat in the most horrific manner 3 weeks ago in Wallington.

Shanny Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Its not the cat killer its not his MO he decapitates heads and cuts their tails off. I think this is someone as equally twisted but uses a gun and probably not as prolific.I am sorry to hear about the cat in Wallington...did they report this to SNARL?

Passiflora Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Yes, I agree Shanny that people still take pot-shots at defenceless animals for whatever reason, who knows!As far as I know SNARL must have been alerted to this latest terrible killing as was reported to the police.

flocker spotter Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Not sure why every single animal related thread on here must always reference the famed cat killer.

Passiflora Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Don't think it's every thread, but this one naturally came around to this. If it makes people aware that somebody is still killing cats and other animals out there I can't see the problem.

It's very sad. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/196611-someone-trying-to-shot-fox/#findComment-1261182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
