I don't really agree with people feeding foxes, but it's a sweet story nonetheless.

Cute story, just glad they don't live near me. A few neighbours feed the foxes which drives me and other neighbours mad as we end up getting chicken bones etc left in the garden.

Lots of mange round here so definitely don't like them. I was a great hunt supporter when I had horses but alas we are now over-run with foxes night and day and a neighbour had her kitten decapitated only a few months ago by one

People are alot more worried about Owls and Coyotes here, for sure. Foxes are not seen as dangerous, or pests Not even if you have chickens. there's so much space, and ample rodents, that they're not going to go hungry enough to raid where people are.

My neighbours had four cats killed by fox's

Since I have had Millie I have not seen one fox in our garden and they used to hang around all the time.

I used to have an Eglu which are said to be fox proof but after the third night one hen got pulled through the back end from the coop it was one lucky fox.

I don't like seeing fox's in urban suroundings and I certainly don't agree with the public inviting them to their gardens by feeding them.

It is in these situations were people are most likely to get bittern by fox's they have been known to be extremely vicious.

It is more likely that a cat will be run over by a car than killed by fox
