A timid fox gets a free meal


The buzzards have been busy fighting each other recently. One which was born last year is getting a hard time from a large non-related interloper which has recently arrived. All this is happening while the established breeding pair tend to a nest high in the trees. The interloper will get a shock when the resident breeding male returns once the chicks have fledged. However all the commotion between the low ranking buzzards is good news for this very timid fox as it gets to eat the food I normally leave for the buzzards as they participate in territorial wars with each other.

Contrary to popular belief foxes are not the ferocious killers they are made out to be. Take the one in the video above which I filmed yesterday. This is a very timid animal and pretty much bottom of the food chain at the spot where this film was made. It is constantly bullied by badgers, it's afraid of the buzzards and even the magpies often harass it when it comes out to scavenge for left overs. 

It defies belief that people/sadists persecute and hunt these animals for fun. The persecutors often use the term 'vermin control' to give their perversion for blood an air of respectability. Foxes have a hard enough time surviving on the scraps they can scavenge. The people who persecute foxes are amongst the lowest forms of life imaginable in my opinion. Take a look at a person who enjoys killing animals and you are looking at a person who would take equal joy in killing humans should they get the chance. It come as absolutely no surprise to me when I heard that the monster, Mark Bridger who murdered poor little April Jones was an abattoir worker as it takes a certain type of person to work in an abattoir. I am not suggesting for one second that all abattoir workers are potential murderers, but what I am saying is that people who kill animals for enjoyment be they abattoir workers such as Bridger or red coated hooray henrys on horseback hunting foxes, these are the type of people who enjoy the 'thrill of the kill' and therefore deserve to be viewed  differently than the rest of the population who have no desire to inflict pain or suffering on living creatures.

TC foxes are vermin, new charter housing official policy is to support blood sports.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In my opinion foxes are not vermin, but the people who kill them or other animals for fun are. I would be quite happy to take a fox as a pet as I think they are wonderful and resourceful creatures. A lot of the disinformation circulated regarding foxes comes from the hunting lobby.

Foxes would kill chickens should they get into a chicken coup, just as buzzards would kill rabbits if they gained access to a rabbit farm or as any other predatory creature would do when looking for the food which it needs to survive. The difference between us, the king of the monkeys and the rulers of the planet, compared to all other animals is; we, or some of our species at least kill not for food but for pleasure. No other living thing but for man does this, so with that in mind, ask yourself who really is the vermin.

I truly believe that the police have been called round today, because of this article.

Agree entirely with your comments TC. The human animal is the most evil and disgusting creature on the planet as history has constantly shown us.

As for the hunting brigade, maybe the tables should be turned to see if they still thought it was sport.

Opemipo Jaji aedophile who raped white children - not racist said...

In April it was revealed that Jaji had a "sexual interest in very young white girls" and had attacked another before. Throughout the trial, the judge had directed that the jury should not be told of this.

In February 2011, he attacked a 12-year-old girl on a housing estate, stuffing her school tie into her mouth, before taking her mobile phone and sexually assaulting her. Jaji continued the attack despite an interruption from a member of the public. He was given a 10-month detention and training order in September 2011, serving five months in custody.

His latest victim had one of her gloves stuffed in her mouth during the ordeal. She ran home after Jaji allowed her to get dressed. She turned up at home dirty and dishevelled, the court heard, her parents having called police when she failed to arrive home by 5.30pm.

She was taken to hospital, where she had to be examined under anaesthetic and needed stitches.

Giving evidence, she told the court: "He kept saying, 'Stop moving or I will stab you'.

The judge noted Jaji was "an intelligent young man who had potential

This is why they are striding forward and we are tumbling backwards. It is progress v willful dumbing down.

Unsound Judgement said...

@ Opemipo Jaji, Eight years for raping an 11 year old! An utter disgrace that devalues the horrendous nature and evil of the offence. It should have been sixty years, to punish the crime appropriately and deter potential similar animal scum.

Consistency said...

Anaimals are killed for food and sometimes need to be culled due to disease, overpopulation etc, such as rats, foxes, deer, badgers etc. Squeamishness is no reason not to.
In my opinion the same rule should apply to selected humans, starting with scum who kill and rape children.

Human hunting is one of those things that have died out unfortunately.
The Scandinavians were good at it once, especially at wiping out those robe wearing treasure hoarders and showing women that real men don't bow to a desert god.
