Have to agree now. This is all about the dosh, can't be anything else. Most parents would want to let the story go away and deal with it themselves. Can only believe they have been told it will cost thousands to have the cosmetic surgery for the kids and they are using the Sun to fund it. Who knows, but on the face of it I agree it needs to be out of the papers now.
Watched them on the TV early this morning. Was there any 'real' evidence it was a fox?
Also, just for interest, what is the breed of dog they own?
Bet the fox-hunting lobby is somewhere in the picture too.

Just read that Sun article.
Something is not right here.
All this terror and horrific injuries and we are told to believe the fox didn't move, just sat there, even when the hubby came running up the stairs and the wife was screaming?
The story goes on:
Consultant reconstructive surgeon Raj Ragoowansi said the girls' injuries were some of the worst animal bites he had seen.
He said: "The bite was a very strong bite because, as far as the upper arm was concerned, the wound was down to the bone.
"It takes considerable force to force a laceration through the skin, through the fat, through the muscle and down to bone."
He added: "This is probably the second fox bite I've seen - but actually it was the most severe I've seen as an animal bite.'
Probably the second fox bite?
Either it is or it isn't!
But then his English is not too good: 'force to force'!

They said within minutes of being in the house, they'd seen the fox trying to get in the back door like a dog.
What's the betting that they were regularly feeding and encouraging these foxes?Also,
I don't buy the fact that a fox came in to the house when they had a dog. The dog would go absolutely apes
t as soon as it picked up the foxes scent surely?
As to the house price, it's to suggest that they live in a nice area, where such things SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, and that, as they do live in a nice area, they wouldn't own a nasty horrible illegal dog, like a pit bull, because only chavs own those.
I'm not convinced it was a fox at all, not even a little bit.
As has been mentioned the fox hunting lobby will be pushing on this for all it's worth.

You are not alone.Foxes do share our urban environment increasingly these days, but they are quiet (apart from the damn barking, squeeling thing) and secretive animals. At a previous house (no foxes where I live now and I have a walled garden anyway) we had a few foxes nearby, the damn cats were sufficient to scare them off!!! So I cannot quite see how or why this might occur.
My experience has always been that Foxes will run first. Just doesnt quite add up. Though I am happy to be wrong though, as the consequences of it not being a fox are daft.

Their kids are maimed. If it was their dog that did it I'm damn sure it would have been put to sleep by now.
Expert in urban fox behaviour are you?
I've seen dog fox challenge my large and very well teeth equipped Samoyed dog in my own back garden. Foxes do not always "leg it" when confronted by dogs or humans. - I have first hand experience of that!
Your desire to push your own agenda and limited knowledge forward in this is coloured no doubt by your obvious anti fox hunting stance. Fair enough, but these people (those kids) have suffered terribly, and they don't need muppets like you, and those creeps in the pro furry vermin brigade who sent them abusive messages, making their suffering any worse by casting cheap, ill informed aspertions (sp?)
We had some bods round here claiming that foxes were not vermin, were kind to other animals etc. All went to hell in a hand basket when most of the missing cats were found (in bits) in foxy's den. Some people just wont face facts. Foxes are nasty, vicious animals that kill for fun and WILL take that opportunity whenever they can. Pet Rabbits, cats, small dogs, domestic chickens and lambs are known prey. Whats so different that you find it impossible to believe that they would attack human babies when given the opportunity / were hungry enough?
And if the family had fed them, (no evidence of that whatsoever) then they paid a pretty horrible price for their largesse and Disneyfied view of these nast creatures.........
