Ah, Those "herds of hostile foxes"

 


Right. I am no longer wasting my time on pro hunt people posting to Face Book groups. In many cases the Admins are either friends of these people or are quite willing to let lies continue on.

Ask for the vet, the RSPCA contact or the photographs and other evidence of foxes attacking and killing cats and...nothing. We now have people claiming that foxes are going out "in herds and surround you until they get any food you have" which is patently the most false and fantasy prone claim to date. Foxes do not hunt in packs -were they filmed doing this? No. Any evidence? No.

There are plenty of other people out there capable of challenging these comments and after two weeks of doing this I give up. I am already months behind on work and these comments will continue on as the hunts build up for their hunt season.

I've been doing this since 1976 and since the internet came along it has gotten worse. Anyone can get on to groups and admins are more concerned with membership numbers than factual statements.
