City Foxes

[Guest iceaz]

i live in nottingham and there is a growing problem with foxes i just wondering what is the law when it comes to catching them in my back garden

 

i would use a live trap just incase someones cat got caught lol( fukin cat there just as bad )

and then i would go and release the fox in the woods with no harm done

most city foxes have never seen a rabbit, or eaten anything other than scraps from bins & left overs ect. so if released into the wild they would struggle to feed them selves & possibly starve, so either catch & kill or leave alone

you have to have a reason to do it in your garden or on any land.........there was a case a few years ago of a guy shooting starlings off his bird table while feeding the birds...........so if you have chickens or a pet rabbit etc you'll have an excuse or lots of shit digging etc!!! just be ready with a good reason other than i don't like them....lol

Very good point, and if you do trap them you HAVE to kill them by law.

If tombola isnt trying to lead people to say stuff that can be used against the site i would be amazed !!

This doesnt suprise me in the slightest, the media will try anything to get a story, thats why we have to all be aware of whats going on about us, what might seem like a freindly fella asking for some advise or whatever could realy be your enemy trying to get you to say something that you would not normaly say.

 

Be carefull out there
