Wales1234 5,425 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 There's a old grave yard by me with all fox earths going into them not sure if they got down to the coffins but plenty active Quote Link to post
jetro 5,349 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 This was an old graveyard rippem. There wasn't fresh bits of corpses lying around, just old bones. On the subject of coffins, not all are air tight. Most are cheaply made, but not cheap to buy lol. Atb j Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Why wouldn't a fox or badger eat human? Meat is meat. I doubt the corpse wearing clothes would put them off. When I lived in London we had a pair of foxes in the garden. I shot one but the other ran off. I put the dead one in a bin bag till I could dump it next day. The following morning the bag was ripped to bits and the fox had been half eaten, presumably by it's mate. Dirty b*****ds. Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,415 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 There was a very sad case about 4 miles from my house a few years ago where a tourist visiting Newgrange was abducted and murdered. Her body was eventually found and what delayed the identification process was the damage done to her body by wild predators, in this part of the world that can only be rats, foxes and badgers. It was her voice box and dental records mostly destroyed. As for smelling up through the earth ? That was an old trick done years back to stop birds spreading poison. The poison was buried with meat and that night would be dug up. I've twice seen were dogs were buried and dug up and eaten by badgers. Quote Link to post
jetro 5,349 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Seen dogs dug up a couple of times Neil by foxes and badgers. Also know of an arm found by a dog of a drowned fisherman outside a fox den nearby me as well. Atb j Quote Link to post
foxdropper 17,092 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I buried a road casualty badger a while back about 2 foot deep and its been dug up by a fox and eaten in a putrid state . Quote Link to post
white van man 3,188 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have buried pork to use as bait for training Cadaver search dogs. Some pieces are no bigger than a thumb. The bait is normally buried a good couple of feet down and wrapped in cloth. Foxes dig them up on a regular basis. Had some bait that's been there for a good couple of months un touched. Went up the other day and foxes had dug it up. Quote Link to post

There was also a case in England a few year back where human bones were found scattered over a woodland floor.Police said body had been disturbed by wild animals. Later in court case the bones were said to be scattered over a large area.Again could only be a couple of culprits doing the eating. Quote Link to post

jetro 5,349 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Don't know about that ray. There is only one crematorium in this country. If ye think foxes are bad for scavenging body parts, ye should see what a flock of sea gulls can do to a corspe. Scarey. Atb j Quote Link to post
