A plague on soppy townies who treat these vicious vermin like pets: ROSS CLARK asks why people weep over foxes while showing utter contempt for the humans they attack
ROSS CLARK: A diseased fox bit off part of a man's ear as he was sleeping on a bench in the village of Storrington, West Sussex. Yet rather than being put down, the beast is now being cared for 24/7. Mail.
Speaking to a Sheffield pest control officer,some years ago, when I was considering buying a Larsen trap to cut down our local infestation of magpies, he told me two interesting facts:
1) What I was doing was actually dangerous to my family. Animal welfare loonies would cause me mayhem and put out all the windows in my house were they to find out and
2) In his vital role in our city, he had been attacked for killing rats!
