Ok, a shocking event but why is it such a "story"..

[anonymousbird]

.. that warrants TV interviews etc?
fox attacks twins

Is Max Clifford behind this?

I think it does warrant TV interviews, so that people are aware that these things can happen. I think they will be likely to happen more often due to the increasing influence of ecologists

I was always a bit sceptical about the whole fox in the house upstairs thing....until the bloody fox that lives under our shed in the garden (nice fox, called Ferdinand) ate the cherries off the chocolate cake and then ate half of the chocolate cake. He left one side which was nice of him.
Can understand now about the fear of foxes in houses. Glad the kids were not home though.

Haha - as an ecologist please explain to me how I am manipulating the world's media??

there was another case of a 3 year old boy bitten by a fox at school. Where were all the health and safety brigade? Seems that when it is anything to do with nature or the environment, they all look the other way

Cheninblanc, I think that the biodiversity ecologists have influenced councils etc. so that what used to be normal pest control is now frowned upon. There was a journalist on Sky News yesterday who said that the council will do nothing. He also said that in some cases they trap the fox then release it three miles away. The ecologists who want to reintroduce the lynx to Scotland etc. are only the extreme end of this trend.

Am I the only one who would be really angry if my childrens nursery was shut because a boy put his arm under a building and got bitten by a wild creature who lived there?

Foxes are wild animals.
Dogs bite children all the time but for some reason that is ok?
A child got bitten by a dog outside my childrens school a few weeks ago. Luckily the school didnt over react and closed down

Poor foxes. We build over their woodland, put roads through their fields then wonder why they start coming into our homes!
World is upside down and back to front.

so would you be happy if your local school had wild boar or wolves running around the playground? Dogs are not wild in the sense that foxes are.

Did a Sky News journalist also tell you that they are planning a Wild Boar and Wolf re-introduction programme throughout Southern England?

not yet Cheninblanc, byt doubtless that will soon come if they have their way. Stories like this will alert the public.

to be honest I think he was a Guardian journalist, which gives us hope that even they can see the writing on the wall

hahaha - I think you'd be better suited to here, dear: SpeakYou'RebRanes

why is that where you get your ideas from?

But dogs are wild animals. They have been domesticated to a certian degree but still remain a wild unpredictable animal.

I welcome the reintroduction of wild animals who used to live in this country before humans forced them out.

Why do humans feel they are the most superior?

We just have guns.

ronshar, your views are shared by the ecologists. I think that when the public wakes up they will disagree with these views. That's why interviews with the parents and pictures of the twins are very important so that the public becomes aware.

The dog who bit the small child at school was on a lead tied to the school fence!
Any animal is at risk of biting a small child who approaches it. Hamsters, rabbits, cats etc etc.

We should ban all animals. That would keep our children safe.

Aware of what?

The evil plans of the dastardly ecologists who are planning to kill innocent civilians and take over the world via Wild ANimal Attackz!!!1!?

but foxes spread disease, that's why the 3 year old boy, who was only trying to retrieve a ball, had to have a rabies shot. The school knew that a family of foxes lived under the portakabin but did nothing to protect children. Why?

Claig. Aware of what exactly.
That wild animals are dangerous? I think most people know that.
Perhaps we should be teaching the grownups more common sense about animals in general.

Without a balanced ecology we would not exist for long.
If we lose our bumble bee then within our life time we will have massive food shortages.
I bet you dont like those either, in case they sting you or your child?

Would you rather a huge rise in children being bitten by rats? Or people dying of wiels disease?

I didnt know we had Rabies in this country.

Cheninblanc I'm sure you're clever enough to understand the aim. If not study the site you linked to more carefully, go through it with a fine toothcomb and maybe you will begin to understand.

I love bumble bees. That's why I don't like GM food crops. Instead of protecting foxes, they should look at GM crops and also the fact that mobile phone signals may be affecting our bees.
