:Angry:i know what you mean.i still remember seeing one wipe out a complete car ,and the people in it early one sat morning.

Is that the family's fault for having a car?
It seems some on here would think so.
For all of you who think animals are always blameless and humans should adapt, I have a simple question.
If moles were to move in on your lovely lawn, or Wimbledon, Wembley, etc., would you eradicate the moles or consider yourself at fault for having grass to walk on?

Your fault, surely??

I can only speak for myself. When I had money, not that many years ago, and a beautiful home and lawn like a bowling green .... the moles arrived as we lived in the country. I didn't speak to my husband for weeks cos he was gonna put poison down instead of the noise whatsits (which apparently don't work). We learned to live with the moles. There was enough grass to go round for all of us.

Hats off, Joy.
It's rare not to find double standards.

Cooking your Mole

Mole is considered the national dish of Mexico. Rick Bayless, chef and expert on Mexican food, compares it to Thanksgiving turkey "just served more frequently." With the endless varieties of mole sauces available, their popularity has grown worldwide. Most regions in Mexico have their own custom mole sauces, but a few stand apart from the rest and are favorites.

This is all very well but when wild animals be it a vole or a fox or a wolf or a bear can't find enough to eat in the countryside (or can't get his own territory for the same reason, too many of them and not enough to eat) he packs his knapsack and moves to the town where he can scavenge from dustbins etc.

Then he finds a lady friend who moved last year and they mate, she gives birth behind a gravestone in the churchyard blah di blah di blah.

I mean they cull deer in Scotland - not the nice healthy ones in their breeding prime, the old knackered ones who can't win a rut or may have been injured in a rut or otherwise anyway and won't survive to save them dying in agony and then rotting in a heap.

What IS the solution if it ain't selective culling? By marksmen not bloody amateurs. Still it's a bit hard finding spare marksmen these days with the gun laws having been tightened, isn't it ........

Domestic dogs cause far more injuries than foxes perhaps we should cull all domestic and wild dogs.

How daft can we get?

Why the angry face? Foxes are natural predators. People across the world live alongside dangerous wildlife. Alongside bears, big cats, venomous snakes and insects, buffalo, elephants - the list goes on. Here we have the big angry fox!! ..... AAAaaahhh !!! :shout:The only wildlife that bothers me is the Scottish midge, and so, I try to minimise the risk by keeping doors and windows closed. If I lived elsewhere and had a scavenging bear to contend with the solution would be exactly the same! Not difficult is it?

You seemed to have got the point without realising it ....that's exactly what people do for foxes, though perhaps without realising it! :winky:

The cull of humans could start where it did last time, gypsies first, then the disabled, then any religious factions we are jealous of, but if i could just add chavs, layabouts and ramblers into the mix, along with peadophiles, wife beaters, and murderers, if we have time,i'd also like to propose animal harmers, traffic wardens and the ignorant little customer services sh*t for "Three" that I had the misfortune of dealing with last week.
We could also get a concession for taking out the planks who sit in the middle lane of motorways, people who shout while using a mobile phone, people who's kids dont behave in resturaunts, those who have kids they have no way of financially supporting, the "plastic gangsters" that infest housing estates with their mock tudor houses and concrete pit bulls on the gate post, rapist's, terrorist's, bent politicians, bent coppers, Jeremy Kyle, Jeremy Vine, jeremy Clarkson...in fact,....anyone called Jeremy, and women who push pushchairs out into the road without looking.

If we start with the above, we will have room for us, foxes , badgers (even those with a cough) stoat, weasels, adders,red kites, buzzards , and the occasional rat!::bigsmile:
