Thank you for posting these beautiful photos. Foxes are beautiful creatures.it was born in the spring.
This is the time of year foxes are looking for a place to have their offspring.it was born in the spring.
Nice pics! We have some coyotes living in the trees at the end of the cul-de-sac. They make some haunting cries and howls late at night. Occasionally, usually in the middle of the night, you can spot them trotting down the street.it was born in the spring.
I've never seen a coyote living in a tree!Nice pics! We have some coyotes living in the trees at the end of the cul-de-sac. They make some haunting cries and howls late at night. Occasionally, usually in the middle of the night, you can spot them trotting down the street.
I hope the fox is trapped and moved to another more approximate place. Otherwise people will feed it, it will lose its fear of humans, it will bite some intrusive kid, and then be trapped, tested for rabies, and put to death.I hope park goers respect the sweet little thing and keep their distance.
About everyone on this thread mentioned how cute and sweet the fox was. Why are you singling out Aunt Marg?I hope the fox is trapped and moved to another more approximate place.

Foxes are not “sweet little things“, they are wild animals. @Aunt Marg I find your responses to animal threads confusing and varied. Why do you want feral cats trapped and disposed of? Feral cats provide rodent control. They are trapped, vaccinated and released back to their area.
You agreed a one bite dog should be put down, but usually one bite dogs go to rehab depending on the state they are in, of course. And you took the trouble to go to my thread and state that the crate I kept my puppy in was a cage, and you would never cage a dog whereas this is a common and necessary practice in the USA, and most other places.
An unvaccinated fox that could get rabies and bite a child is a “sweet little thing”. (my great great grandfather on my dads side died when bit by a rabid animal. It a horrid death. I have a newspaper article on it.).
Could you please explain your various positions on animal control and reasoning behind those positions? So I could better understand your position.
Methinks they do not care for one another, Gaer, but I do feel Aneeda takes things a tad too seriously sometimes. I doubt Aunt Marg means ill toward her or her pup. Just feels differently about how it should be handled. I don't care personally if I put a dog in a crate if someone wants to call it a cage or whatever, but others feel differently. And, if a puppy bites you, no way do you put it down. I've been bitten by pups and adult dogs, but thankfully never a feral one. Then, I'd probably lobby for it to be put down. We all have our own ideas as to how to raise our animals and, I for one am enjoying Aneeda's journal with Bella. Whether I agree with some of it is neither here nor there. It's her dog and that's it. As for the fox, well, I agree about the rabies bit and I am not happy that my dog goes after them. But the kits are cute and they can be vaccinated if caught.About everyone on this thread mentioned how cute and sweet the fox was. Why are you singling out Aunt Marg?
