Jeremy Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I still don't understand why foxes can't go to sainsbury's and spend their nectar points. Is it because they never accumulate enough points to make even the smallest of purchases?

Who has defined the "rights" of foxes and humans? I wouldn't have the right to shit in your garden at night, in fact you'd have the right to call the police and have me arrested.You can't talk about animals and humans having the same "rights" it just doesn't make any sense.And for the record, I've got no beef with the foxes, except the one that nicked my childhood toy which had been passed down to my daughter who left it in the garden (bitch!).

*Bob* Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 On foxes..Well I expect someone expects me to say that I think they should all be lined-up, have their faces sandpapered off one by one - and then skewered to death up their bums with a barbed pole. But I won't say that. Because I like the little critters. YES, I LIKE FOXES.

civilservant Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 foxes have a natural lifespan of around 14 years, just like dogs. in the wild they possibly manage to live this out, but urban foxes' life expectancy is only a couple of years because of urban hazards such as trafficsee http://foxes.channel4.com/features/fox-file (and any number of other references.) It has this on pets and foxes:Q: I'm scared that a fox will eat my pet? A. You shouldn't be. It is actually very rare for a fox to kill a pet. A study in Bristol showed that the maximum annual loss was 0.2 pets per fox (a fox ate a pet once every five years), so putting your pet in secure housing should avoid this.As a pedant, I should point out that the helpful clarification for Mail-readers should actually say "EACH fox ate pets at the rate of one every five years" (but then if a given fox only survives for two years, the likelihood that it ever ate a pet decreases...)
