I can't decide if this is sarcastic comedy or genuine, but it works either way.
Something about this story smells fishy to me though.....but I am a cynic.
That'll be the famous North London hunt then :rolleyes:
What a load of rubbish. Bloody muslim foxes, eh? Coming over here, all fearless like, be taking our jobs next.
It's high time the authorities cleansed our cities of these disease-ridden, scavenging pests.
Perhaps they could catch them live and use them to satisfy the needs of the country folk who want a return to hunting.
There is no record of attacks where a human has been left seriously injured until this weekend's attack.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as presented I can't help but wonder if there's some element missing from this story.
Under those circumstances we will never know if it was a fox or something else.
Foxes are not known for unprovoked attacks on children.
I remain cynical in the absence of further proof.
IMO rats would be much more likely.
No evidence of any forensic investigation of the nature of the bites i.e rodent or carnivore dentition.
And the Speckled Hen ones that bookend Dave shows?
Hmmmmmmmm... I'm inclined to agree.
It does sound like there's something not quite right with the story. Surely the parents would have been there in seconds soon as they heard one child cry out??
There never was a lot of fox hunting in east London even before the ban.
The reports seem a little vague. Who saw the fox attacking the girls? Did someone frighten it away? Strange that the fox apparently attacked not just one girl but two and that it was apparently bold enough to go into an upstairs bedroom.
Still, maybe the story is perfectly genuine. I wonder if the family owns a dog, though?
I remain sceptical but feel there is more to come on this story.
If they don't then perhaps they should feel relieved as they might be facing a prosecution for setting their dog after the foxes.
If you're thinking what I'm thinking, you're thinking family dog.
And how does a fox get into an upstairs room?!
