Foxes are either dogs or vixens. To refer to them as 'boy's or 'girls' is a bit twee IMHO!

Congratulations. You have now trained what were wild animals to depend on human intervention. When your girlsies and boyses are thrown out by their mumsy-wumsies they will approach humans for food, start scavenging bins, and end up live trapped and shot. With friends like you urban foxes don't need enemies.

Bit of a harsh, inaccurate and needless attack on a new member with an interest in their local wildlife. Hows this any different to hedgehogs or birds? Other than you have a personal problem with this species (evident from your other posts).

Hedgepigs and birds don't get live trapped and shot. Far from having a problem with foxes, I regard them as an essential part of the ecosystem. I have said very clearly that if I am thinning out rabbits on a market farm I will not shoot a fox because the beast is benefitting the farmer by predating rabbits. Furthermore, as a country boy I can take a balanced view about urban foxes.

If you have an lnterest in local wildlife you should find out about it before you meddle.

So nyaah.

So by attracting urban foxes into your garden they are automatically going to be trapped and shot OK.

Ok I will learn about my local wildlife before I meddle with it, unsure how I even managed to get a job in consultancy. My employers must have missed my apparent lack of knowledge.
