My only issue with these wild fox coming into these cities is the effect of eating all this rubbish they scavenge, it isnt a natural diet and they will suffer, maybe we just need to make more of an effort to clean up the cities so there is no food for them to scavenge, it a problem that dirty humans have created, this is not a problem created by the fox but the fox fox will be the one to suffer in the long run. Get the cities cleaned up and the fox will return to its natural habitat, until we cover it in concrete and tarmac!

[ummmm]

Lol Lady.

I just googled 300,000 dog attacks and it appears this is an American news item, do they have the same Fox problem?

agree with deggers point, though I think it's some irresponsible dog owners that could do with culling, not the animals

No problem in Korea with stray dogs attacking people.

Thanks for that sloopy, see the Yanks have gone for 'bigger and better' again, no mention of 300,000 for the UK deggers,

///The number of people admitted to hospital after dog attacks more than doubled from 2,915 in 1997 to 6,118///

Deggers, the difference being that the dogs are usual pets who are welcomed into our homes. Foxes are not.
We as a race are taking over the foxes territory and wondering why they come close to us. They have nowhere to go. People ( babies especially ) being hurt is of course awful. I don't know what the answer is.

One slight difference.....dogs (well, the vast majority) have owners, foxes don't. If a dog is missbehaving it's the owners fault.

think the newscaster exaggerated a bit but still 210.000
