    Urban fox will,a hunt would never have bothered him,cage trap and despatch,or rimmie and NV is the best treatment,discrete.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Thousands of kids every year are attacked and disfigured by dogs, which also kill the odd on. No fox has ever killed a child, nor are attacks prevalent. We should first be calling on having all dogs put down instead of the local wildlife.

    keith, its tragic that any child has to lose there life, being attacked by a wild animal or a dog, but you properly find that most of the dogs that attack children are banned breeds like Pit Bull Terrier that are not aloud in the uk or abused dogs. its the owns that that's responsible, not the dog.

    will

    Here are the top 10 breeds by number of reported attacks:

    1. Dachshunds

    4. Australian Cattle Dog
    5. Cocker Spaniel
    6. Beagle
    7. Border Collie
    8. Pit Bull Terrier
    9. Great Dane
    10. English Springer Spaniel


    The NHS reports around 100 'severe' dog attacks every week.

    UK.

    Find it yourself if you don't trust me.

    I know from experience it is the small dogs that attack more. They are more aggressive due to their size. Ask any vet, they'll agree.

    This is a good piece http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/...-attacks/17727 Less than 4% of deaths are by banned dogs.

    My aunt has a dachshund and we (anyone other than my aunt's family and helpers) can't get near her. She's one furious dog and we don't dare try to pet or even feed her at all. But my dog (poodle/mongrel mix) liked everyone when he was still alive. He bit a kid (neighbour) once but that was because the kid was running and accidentally stepped on him while he was lying down sleeping in front of our door, hence he snapped. I think it was only Keith that made him get mad a lot wheneve he sees him.

    my point is you would not leave both children who are under 2years old with a dog or a family member who has a dog, what ever breed it is, the owner is the one responsible if it bites someone or attacks some one not the dog.

    this is what is says on your link..

    An 11-month girl is the latest child to be mauled to death by a dog.

    Ava-Jayne Corless was in bed at a house in Blackburn, Lancashire, on Monday when she was attacked by what police described as an American pitbull-type dog.

    It's not just size but reputation too. The Staffordshire Terrier has a bad reputation, but this is because of the idiotic owners who don't treat them properly. According to the Kennel Club, Staffies are the best breed to be around children, hence the nickname the 'nanny dog'.

    Staffies (proper ones) are a very different temperament from American Pitbulls. ...also about half the size.

    Well said, Fred try and ban cock fighting in the Philippines you will get a 45 in the back of the head.
    England used to have cock fighting back in the day.. A local handler here once asked me to do some research to see if the old breeds still exists and bring them to the P.I!!
    He reckoned they might do well in a Texas derby.
    Seriously though,now that I live in this country,I have to accept their laws and traditions which I have always done... like you say,interfere over here with a national pastime and watch your life expectancy decrease drastically.
    Cock fighting is so accepted as norm here that they even have it regularly on the T.V..
    If a foreigner started a petition over here there is a good chance he/she would be blacklisted from the country!!
    Quite right too.

    I'm totally against fox hunting, I may be a city dweller but it's a cruel event. Not needed in this day and age. Years ago I did see a bullfight - wish I hadn't

    Really any government which would waste their time debating this, really would have their priorities wrong.

    Good post.. Townies have no clue how to manage the country side... If their Sunday roast chicken aint wrapped up nicely in cling film headless with their neck skin neatly tucked in at the supermarket (blood free),I doubt they would know how it was processed!!
    If they see how their beef and Pork arrived from start to finish till they buy it in neatly packed film I assure you..There will be petitions from here till Timbuktu!!!!
