No Picidae, could not disagree with you more… I have been in touch with ‘wild animals’ for long time and the unusual experience prompt me to seek for the advice of EXPERTS I though knew a little bit more than they obviously know… to overreact as you did, sending a msg so charged with judgements and condemnation is NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. I left my mail expressing my opinion, which I still hold, because people like you should learn to tame their manners and have people skills. Many are used to vent opinions in a violent outburst ‘in the name of animal welfare’ expecting that a late apology will suffice. NO the damage was done!
And after you sent another ridiculous mail referring to my love for animals as “fluffy” and saying that ‘I got gratification by snapping my fingers’... who do you think you are? Did you read my msgs properly? Please learn from real animal lovers like CESAR MILAN or so many others in the national TV, who gives various techniques, like ‘snapping fingers’, ‘making a sound’ etc because animals understand body language and PERCEIVE ENERGY BETTER THAT HUMANS! I refer you to true experts from whom I will rather continue learning myself.
Let’s agree to disagree…but the least I expect in any site, is respect and professionalism….your mails show you lack both, and it is you who cannot tolerate others do not accept your insults passively. LEARN TO GIVE A BALANCE AND MATURE OPINIONS THAT MATCHES YOUR POSITION OF OFFICER OF THE WILD EMPIRE… who uses ‘emotional tires’ and then blame those who have different opinion. Do not use guilt to turn things around…learn to accept responsibility for your erratic actions and reactions…and as you say KNOW WHEN TO LET GO!

SueB, loved your story and appreciate your comments... your case is the evidence that encourages true animal lovers to do their best and communicate through the heart with those who visit our gardens... it really made me laugh that the experts are so picky on nutrition, they seem to ignore he FACT that foxes end up starving or surviving by eating WHATEVER they find in the road, in bins, good, and rotten food etc . Most of them will spend their life span in the hostility of the streets and never get to interact in a LOVING way with humans.
That is what makes all the difference in your story, but they do not seem to notice the hospitality you provided, the love and affection, the friendship that was developed, the intimacy and the trust that made possible those 3years. Thanks for sharing, because4me (and I am sure many others) that is what lives in your memory and in those you share the story with...that is what rises consciousness and lifts our hearts.
