Potential sighting of a trapped fox at Goodrich School.

[Saffron]

Particularly in this weather, traps should not be left out during the day at all. They should only be put out at night, checked and restored in the morning.

And if they are indeed trapping foxes at Goodrich, what happens ot the foxes (and cats) they catch? There may be concerns about potential harm to children from foxes on its premises, but it doesn't sound like they're dealing with the issue properly

Also intersted to see some of the responses to the OP. I thought that the lesson that 'we need to listen to children' had been well learned by now.

Was this happening on school land under direction of the school? I still find it hard to believe tbh.

will report this trapping through proper channels, have school got permission to trap foxes, how do they "dispose of them", how long do they leave these poor things before dealing with, who is it that deals with them, IF these reports are true this may be a serious case of abuse, torture, will be calling scool first thing to ascertain if true.

If this all happens to be true, it doesn't sound like the situation is being dealt with properly at all.

& I think it's completely inappropriate for children of such a young age to be so easily exposed to such a thing. Shame on this school if this does happen to be true, they are aware of what's taking place on their premises & are not doing anything about it.

...I'd be traumatized & wouldn't want to go back to at least that school either!

Angusvanfrehley I do find your second post a tad bit frustrating. It would be nice if you actually responded to some of the questions you have gotten from making this post rather than escalate something that may or may not even be true... Just a thought.
