Bradley Stoke 4 dead in a group
Montpelier 2-3 -local talk of poisoning
BS9 1
BS9 (2nd) 1
BS10 (Southmead) 1
Clifton Village 3-4 regular foxes vanished
BS3(allotments) 3
BS3 (Colliters) 1
BS4 (suspected) 1 (awaiting confirmation)
Total 18 (17 if awaiting info for BS4 does not turn up).
The sudden Clifton disappearances are suspicious because people have been listening and looking for the regular foxes and I think they have suspicions (why they will not say but the reportee seemed to throw out suggestions I made) so even if we exclude those we have around 14 unusual deaths.
A dead fox cub found in the middle of a feeder's lawn,
Same day and same area another fox cub prominently placed outside by feeder's front window where it could not be missed.
The Alderman Moore allotments where foxes got some food but were welcomed -three poisoned. All places where feeding and treating foxes for mange etc had taken place.
Montpelier area 2-3 placed prominently where everyone could see them and where locals are or were vocal about them being poisoned.
Bradley Stoke where four were found clumped together in a culvert that had more than enough ways of them stepping out and where there was no local flooding though I believe foxes were fed in the area.
Now another this time in Southmead outside a person's doorway (though it is denied the tenants would feed foxes).
Road kill we can accept but these deaths are suspicious and we need to know HOW they died but we have only now got a fresh carcass that PM Services are willing to look at.
From now on all dead fox reports need to have a name and address (sent privately of course).
Update
The lady who reported the Southmead fox spoke to the householder who was angry (normal apparently) who said he had "disposed" of the carcass and then slammed the door in her face.
The lady did all she could and at least provided a photo of the fox in situ as well as location so that it can be recorded. It is, however, a big blow.
