About 4 nights ago, the foxes were 'at it' again in the streets around North Cross Road at about 5am. As usual I was woken from a deep sleep thinking that there were murders taking place outside. To my surprise, I then heard 'pop, pop, pop'. I can only assume that someone with more gumption/less patience than I has purchased a BB gun or similar. The screeching stopped & I am eternally grateful to my well armed neighbour. I assume no harm was done to the animals, but the noise drove them to someone else's street....

May I ask that when people give threads ambiguous titles like this they add the caveat 'the animal kind' or somesuch.

I opened this one expecting a discussion about the relative merits ofGirls Aloud and The Pussycat Dolls.

Second time I've been misled this week, that Stray Cats one had nothing to do with the elaborately coiffed popabilly band.

Play the game, a chap can only stand so much disappointment.

No apology necessary Miss P, and not pathetic in the least.

But I reckon that a thread titled 'Horny Canidae' or 'Sexy Canids' could run to a four or five pager.

Just a thought.

Foxes are vermin. For heaven's sake. There was no fox blood, so I think they were scared off by the noise as opposed to shot through the head. I don't like having rats or mice scuttling around my skirting boards at night, should I avoid disturbing them, too? I'm not that fond of spiders either, but at least they're nice and quiet.

you need a bloke (with testicles, eunuchs don't work) to wee where they come into your garden. its a scent thing - early morning pee is best as its stronger, not after the pub, and you need to go in the same spot a few times to make it work


the fox population has increased this year because of the mild summer and the increasing amount of food waste left around.


part of the racket is now no longer due to mating but fighting as the adults kick this year's litter out and they encounter other foxes territories - this is all the barking, running around and chasing in the middle of the night - and also demonstrates there are too many foxes for too little space, but winter, roads and mange will thin out the weak ones and the population will regulate itself.

Well I don't mind the noise, I think it's great we have animals living in a city, and it's better than the noise of screaming creatures being carried off by owls I used to get when I lived in the country.


I have a young fox asleep in my garden as I type, and I think it's great.


Live and let live unless they're actually harming you, that's what I say.


Edited to add: And if someone was shooting at them intending to hit them, I think that's bloody disgraceful, frankly.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
