Fox shit is black, you know!

Here is a vixen and cubs that come into a friends garden. It has taken months to get this far tho .. It's not easy .. They are very shy, and wary of human beings.

Foxes may look lovely but they are vermin and carry a lot of diesease,if you encourage them to by feeding them thay will shit all over your garden and rumage throuigh your bins aslo they have be known to take pets like cats and rabbits,my advice is dont do it if you want them gone I can take care of that for you

Rather have foxes than cats in the world ...

Couple of imported species worth getting rid of .. Cats and rabbits lol

The only good cat is a flat cat

cant see foxes taking over the country really can you ?
they cant drive for a start,

but then they will probably charge less tax on flea powder & shit

slightly o/t but is a cow wild or a domestic animal ?

Cows are owned by farmers, so they arent wild

The only decent thing Blair ever did was putting a stop to those middle-class cunts on horseback. I agree that their numbers need controlling, but if we can put a man on the moon we can find a more economical and more humane way to do it than letting Tarqin and Farquar tear around the countryside with 100 dogs to rip them limb from limb
