Yay! A new Koantus fox video - more please!

PS That one should be sent to Chris Packham/Autumnwatch.

Not a lot has been happening lately. 3 of the young foxes play in the garden around 6ish most mornings, and the badgers mostly come and go looking for food in the night.

But nothing extraordinary has happened for ages.

It's irresponsible to encourage foxes to come near human habitation.

What if those foxes went into someone else's garden who had a young child or baby? They'd feel comfortable approaching or even going into the property.

Foxes should be sent packing if you see them in your garden.

LOL the foxes were here first, and so were the badgers.

One set get born in the garden each year, so this is their birth place. Foxes on the whole leave humans alone,

Indeed, I think that's the main reason for most people's objection to fox hunting.

It's a huge factor, but it's still barbaric and can't really be justified.

The same reasons why dog baiting and cock fighting are banned.

Domestic dogs started life as wolves that wondered into areas inhabitated by humans - evolution as it were.

Foxes would not be that different if domesticated, unless wolves have greater inteligence.

They are wild animals though - and that's how they should be treated.

Encouraging foxes to approach humans will do no good.

Wolves were wild animals before humans domesticated them thousands of years ago..

If foxes are to become extinct due to the destruction of their habitat, becoming domesticated may be the only future they have.
