Richie10 345 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I thought releasing foxes in another are was illegal, the program on BBC last night showed the pest controllers realseing a cub! The old guy who paid for the service was hoping it was going to be killed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The old guy who paid for the service was hoping it was going to be killed. too blody right, if it was in my garden i would want it killed, as they said it will come back if its it territory, also, if its it's territory residual substances are not going to deter it are they because they know the area is safe anyway, they are more likely to go and check out the smell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Wouldn't have surprised me if the BBC had leaned on them and asked them to release the fox unharmed... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poacher3161 1,766 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Its sheer stupidity to let caged trapped foxes go.Idiots from different organizations are doing it alot on council owned land in s.yorks.Even worse are the badgers they have realised only yards off public paths.

Rolfe 2 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 The BBC will be (as always) treading a very fine line between showing pest control in all it's reality and not upsetting the bunny-hugging licence fee payers. They were wrong to show the fox being released in my opinion.....but i can understand why they did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bud9 79 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 i think the rat pack lads are just cowboys who in the right mind would let somebodys terrier kill rats in thare house like zap said thare will be piss all over the place and that dirty wee fat jack russell shit in someones house thats shocking and the other week thare they said that the dog had killed over 300 rats in his 9 year carer witch is shit i think but diffrent people have diffrent oppinions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobndog 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 About five years back, one evening, I was sitting up an oak tree with the 243, alongside a private lane, waiting for a fox that had been seen walking through at dusk. A white Transit van pulled up and reversed into the gateway, My first thought was fly tippers, but they got two cages out of the back, opened them and released two foxes. The two foxes ran to about thirty yards past me, I shot one, the other did not even move, so I shot that one as well. The van took off like a formula 1 start, blue smoke from the tyres and all, never did find out who it was, and they could not have known where I was. I still smile every time that I pass that tree.

Waz 4,293 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 As I said to my missus as soon as they gave the vulpine its liberty, at least they will not get ALF smashing their windows/car up. These boys are funny monkeys but they are not completly stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
