Fox legal to kill.

It's how you kill.


Marmora Man is right about others moving in.


We certainly do seem to have a population explosion. I've seen five or six different foxes in ten minutes walking along Court Lane, and there are 2 living within 20 yards of my gate. I reckon the traditional urban densities (up to 30 per km2) are being exceeded by a huge margin.

^ your seriously not comparing a family pet to a fox are you???

Foxes are not pets you plonker! They are vermin.... this is my whole point.

With an answer like that, I can only assume that you seem to think foxes are cute 'pet' like creatures.... ?

"your seriously not comparing a family pet to a fox are you???"


No, I'm making the point that it's probably prohibited to dispose of a dead dog or fox in your household rubbish.


"With an answer like that, I can only assume that you seem to think foxes are cute 'pet' like creatures.... ?"


Well, you're wrong, I don't.

Sue, I have reported to the council.

I get a similar response from them as i do from JCTG.... 'it's just not legal!!!'


I've had enough of that crap! they are a pest/ vermin! why should they be given the green card??

Action now required....

Something about feeding the troll.


Just as an FYI, the administrators are required to give up log details to the police if they fear a criminal act has, or is about to take place.


There is easily sufficient data in the logs to cross check with ISPs to identify the originating PC for online postings.


I'm sure it wouldn't then take too much effort to identify the user with the personality of an attention seeking 14 year old boy.

Erm, ok! Troll, 14yr old??? Meh!

Really........

Look, i'm none of the above, although you are entitled to make your own judgments of course...


Firstly i'm not really bothered by threats of the law as they can't seem to find a stolen bike let alone solve any major case of rodent/vermin/minor mammal murder.


For me,my friends next door and across the road. Foxes are a major pest.


And for all the reasons you state above that i am supposedly unable to do anything about it.

....I am!


Because no one else will

That's right pearson, YOU ARE the Enforcer... ridding the streets of vermin, operating outside the law, protecting the rights of the innocent. I'll bet the women swoon when they see you strutting the streets in your big cloak and eye mask ;-)


pearson, you need to think for a moment why putting poisons in publically accessible areas is illegal. Why would the goverment stop us putting poisons where houshold pets and small children could access them?


Why would you think it's reasonable that poisoning cats is okay in your ridiculously poorly informed vendetta on foxes?


You know this is borderline psychotic don't you? You need to keep taking the meds mate.

I know foxhunting is illegal - but is killing foxes in your own garden illegal too?


pearson is clearly demented, and I wouldn't ring the RSPCA because I suspect he is all talk, but if you do have a fox problem, how is it different to any other vermin problem?

PS ? I?m not advocating killing foxes on sight. I?m happy so one in the garden etc etc.


But they are vermin, they breed in the wild and some sort of culling is not beyond the pale. And if people have too many in their garden and want rid of them how is that different from having a mice or rat infestation?

No wonder there are so many missing cats in the area. I really hope one day you'll realise what pain you've caused owners who have lost their loved family pets. Shame people with no compassion like you didn't die off with the old generation. Karma often get's it's way - certainly hope it does with you.

"And if people have too many in their garden and want rid of them how is that different from having a mice or rat infestation?"


Because poisoning them is illegal (unlike for rats and mice). As are most traps (ditto). The only legal traps are free running snares which are probably not permitted in urban areas. In addition, what would you do with the fox after you've caught it in this trap?

    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
    • Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.
    • It would help if they opened times when most people needed them.  I had to send a parcel yesterday and Forest Hill post office was unexpectedly closed.  I ended up going to Sydenham, even though Lordship lane was on my way for other shopping as the Lordship Lane PO it closes at 1pm on a Saturday.
    • My 6 ft 2 son has just pulled his hamstring at an athletics competition & is in his way home in an uber from north London.  Would be great if anyone has any crutches we could borrow this afternoon?..  thank you so much if so!   Sorted now thanks
