PICTURED: The perils of a slug trap?

Ugg!
What have I done ?? LOL!

Anyways, I think yes, (but only where there is a genuine and desperate need) their numbers should be reduced as humanely as possible.

Sorry, my big gob seems to have hijacked your thread

I guess insurance has to be the last line of defence against fox attacks

Yes, there is that. But in an urban garden for a handful of chooks the premiums must be horrible.

Then again, I'm not for banning things either and you won;t see me waving any placards. If you like it, you go ahead and do it

Actually hunting scares me half to death I had an insane pony that I couldnt stop!!

No, it isn't!! Or you'll get your bottom smacked, young lady

Ok ok saying nothing else

If it was a beer trap, does the picture suggest the fox has some kind of alcohol problem? Does he perhaps wake up every Saturday morning with a jar on his head and think 'oh god, I've gone and done it again'?

Maybe they ran out of beer and used that whisky with the picture of a grouse on the label?

What's that? You're actually advocating trampling them to death?

Ignoring all previous posts.
Aww, bless what a cute little fox, glad he got his head out!

12 step groups for foxes?

A colleague is a keen shooter but hates fox hunting with a passion .
Speaking to the local gamekeeper a couple of years ago he said that they were having more problems with feral cats and buzzard than with foxes, they were (at the time) breeding 21,000 birds (pheasant and red legged partridge).

Ps When I was talking to the gamekeeper he was on the way to patrol a couple of badger sets because poachers were in the area and after the male badgers for the fighting pits in the cities, he reckoned a male badger could go for a £1000.00, its these people that need culling .

Couldnt agree more people like that need taking out!

i love foxes even the big ones, and yes i know they can do lots of damage, but their killing stuff is natural survival ... and no i wouldn't be happy if one got hold of my babies, but all you can do is make sure the run is fox proof ..... we have a fox ... hence i am extra careful .... but i'm not gonna kill it, just in case it may happen to.... it has as much right to live as anything else. .
