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.

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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
