Townies meet foxes

Not particularly, no. In fact I'm not particularly anti-hunt, but if the guy wants to start tossing aroung expression like "townies" then it guarantees a response.

Eh? What is wrong with being called a 'Townie'?

What do you do when someone actually says something remotely offensive? Spontaniously combust??

So if you're a townie and think people that like to hunt foxes on a horse are weird in the head and also think foxes running round the garden are quiet cool.....where does that leave me?

There was a fox in some cricket grounds in the southern area of England (Portsmouth?). They used a professional marksman to kill him. Should they have had the horses and hounds run over the cricket green?

Would have been a more clear cut outcome if they had.

No shooter is going to hit it every time.

You are seriously saying they should have got horses and hounds chasing the fox across the cricket pitch? While I am not interested in cricket in the slightest, I think a marksman is going to do a better job if I were managing the grounds.

Here's the article for amusement value, anyway.

You can hunt without horses you know?

Sure. TBH I'd rather get someone who has a clue to shoot the fecker and make sure it's dead. Say I did have a fox problem in my road, how do you use hounds? Leashed to track then send them down a foxhole?

Because a quad bike fits our PH style better than a Victorian donkey.

Why do you think a fox in my garden is bad, have you ever met him?

I don't, if you are happy with it's crap and maybe eating your kids then fine and dandy that's your choice.

Spinners might get a bit more turn if the pitch has been churned up a litte...

Of course, it's most sensible, and if they fail, then it's the ninjas!!

It does make you think how nice the UK is though, kid finds a tail and pulls it and gets a nip, compare that to say India or Australia where if a kid pulled on a tail sticking out what might be on the other end.

I would like to report that we had a fox in our garden yesterday, and no-one has been bitten or indeed killed to death.

However there was some muggings in town recently that have gone unsolved. Reports were of a ginger with a fluffy tail and a big nose but the police have yet to find the culprit

"Boom, boom"

Difference is that even the dumbest parents tell their children that a cobra is dangerous and not to go near.

I still blame Roald Dahl.
