Totally agree. They are not hurting anybody, just trying to survive.

Somebody on another thread is complaining about the noise foxes make.

I've been listening to it for years, in the middle of the night/early hours.

But I still put any leftover food out for them, because they too are trying to survive.

Leave them all alone & learn to live alongside them.

They have just as much right to be here as we do.

Yes i agree, any animals regardless of their threat to man, has the right to live on the planet with us. Who are we to choose what lives and what does'nt?

We have to adjust to them, not them to us.

And there is no species more dirty, wasteful, destructive and noisy than mankind.

Reading your message I expect you to be a vegan then!!!

[silkematt]

For anyone saying" leave wild animals alone" and then mentionning that they leave food scraps out for them!! I watch a fox marking his territory in our garden- any new kids toy- may it be the sand pit or the play house is constantly sprayed!! How would you like your child playing in that!!

If I see any neighbour leaving scaps out I will throw any poos or other mess they leave over the fence- YES, including the dead guinea Pig that was left once by our back door!!

As you said so nicely- LEAVE THEM ALONE- DONT FEED THEM and if they dodnt find enough food they will regulate numbers naturally

Damn and there was I thinking that humans were the most destructive and pollutant of all species.....

Never seen a fox destroy the rain forests, or mull over which toothpaste to buy from the hundreds of brands on offer. Hmm never saw a fox buy a happy meal for it's cub with the useless plastic crap that keeps it's offspring devoid from parental input for the time it plays with it......

In fact silkematt...look around your home and ask yourself...just how much crap do foxes really do to the environment? Your house like mine and everyone else is full of crap no doubt........

Just because you dump in a toilet directly into a sewer doesn't give you more rights than a fox. Your affluent still ends up somewhere...ask the dolphins that swim through it daily.

*effluent, although affluent also works well in a satirical way :)
