lurcher330 2,301 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) I just got a call from a farmer i do some pest control for and he told me an uncle of his had 17 lambs attacked in a field last night by a fox, he arrived to check on them at 7.30 this morning and seen a fox go across the field carrying one that looked to be still alive,he chased it in the jeep but it got through the fence and across the next field,when he got out of the jeep he came across 12 dead lambs and 4 still alive with teeth marks on their head but they had to be PTS . he asked me if i could come up and try and find the fox with the dogs as his uncle is in bits over it and it is the worst case he has ever seen. I will try to get up to him later and find the culprit for him and hopefully sort it out. This was senseless slaughter from a pest that needs to be culled,because once it has started this fox will carry on because it is a lot easier than hunting wild animals such as rabbits and birds. I asked him to take a few pics of them but they had already being sent to be incinerated.which is a pity because the damage they cause needs to be shown Edited March 29, 2012 by lurcher330 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've spoken to a few who believe that foxes don't touch lambs They think it's all crap made up by us to justify killing a pest who's population has exploded over the last 20 years, despite fox shooting becoming very popular. They parade themselves as model human beings, and yet refuse to look at evidence, debate reasonably, or allow anyone else to have a say. Not surprising then a few years ago MI5 described animal rights groups as the biggest danger to internal security. The hardcore ones justify petrol bombing houses with children in, in order to save a fox. You can't reason with these idiots as they let their heart rule their head. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The bit about them not believing that foxes don't kill lambs though, I think they do really believe it, it's just they can't argue against that being a reason to control them....so they claim it doesn't happen. Why the hell wouldn't a fox kill a lamb, it's an easy target for them...and predators in the wild don't turn their nose up to easy targets, why would they?? Antis really get on my tits, the most amusing thing about them is most of them are completely ignorant about the things they're trying to protect (i.e. nature and wildlife!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Killing/death is a part of life and nature, simple as that. I'm not a big believer in killing for sport and I try to eat what I can (apart from fox ), so am I any better in their holy eyes??? It's like deer, they have no natural predators since the last wolf was killed on these isles in, I believe, 1741. We have a responsibility to manage species that can't do it themselves, if everyone stopped hunting for a year they'd soon change their tune 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have a responsibility to manage species that can't do it themselves, if everyone stopped hunting for a year they'd soon change their tune In africa, a pack of wild dogs would run an antelope to exhaustion and then drag it down and start eating it while it's still alive....that's nature. And yet a lurcher catching a fox and killing it in seconds is cruel??? If a wolf caught a jackal it would kill it, what's the difference? A human using a dog to hunt foxes, rabbits, hares isn't asking the dog to do anything that isn't natural to it, on the same note any of these animals being hunted by an animal that is higher up that it on the food chain isn't something that's unnatural to them, it's nature, they are a prey species, therefore are set up to avoid predators. I can't be doing with even having a conversation with an anti, it's like speaking to someone who has special needs and isn't capable or seeing common sense! Only they are capable, they just don't want to! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 That's it Rob, you can have different opinions to me but at least listen to the other side with an open mind. I wish I was as 'good' as them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 It won't make them think one but. They are loonies. I don't believe that they actually care about the animals tbh it's just a reason to fight their so called cause and fill their empty life's and heads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
