I was gemused to read an article in the News Shopper about an alleged incident between Anthony Schofiled and a fox, whilst Mr Schofiled was sitting upon the toilet in his home in Catford.
Mr Schofield claims he was quietly going about his business in the little boys’ room on July 1 when the mangy creature strutted in before mauling him, his partner and his pet cat.
The startled 49-year-old leapt up from the bog with his trousers around his ankles before pursuing the creature around the living room in a farcical fox chase.
Quote:
"I didn’t even have time to wipe myself.He added:
I just had to chase after it. It was so quick.
The fox had pushed its nose through the door. I jumped off the toilet.
In the meantime it had run into the front room and got the cat.
It had the cat round the neck. She was in shock, bleeding from her face.
It locked itself onto my arm but still had the cat as well. "It was unbelievable - the strength in the little thing.
There was blood everywhere.
It was like a struggle for my life."
"It was so frightening.Errmm..foxes are wild animals are they not?
It was like a wild animal."
This is exactly the sort of thing that happens when you ban hunting!;)

This is a hard one to believe......I have had several foxes in my garden and each one has always backed down, when confronted by the local cats.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I agree with you Ken about it perhaps being an unforeseen by Nanny consequence of banning fox hunting. I suspect that as Nanny and her chums build on more and more of the fox's habitat, so the conflict between man and foxes may well increase after all, we have seen similar incidents with other animals, such as tigers and elephants in both Asia and Africa....Yes I know tigers don't live in Asia, just think Lions.
Without wishing to be pedantic, Tonk, tigers DO live in Asia, but NOT in Africa. Lions, on the other hand, live in Africa, but NOT in Asia! However, I certainly agree with your observation that conflicts and potential future conflicts between man and nature are as a direct consequence of Nanny destroying wild animals natural habitat.
ReplyDeleteMy Lord......I did know that, I just got my words muddled....Thank you for pointing it out:-)
