Then there is the question of whether other wildlife is being deterred. I
can't prove the foxes are the reason for the decline in bird numbers. We
still get lots of tits, but ground-feeding birds are rarely seen in our
garden anymore.

Finally, they make a lot of noise at night. I work particularly odd and
long hours, and sleep is precious. I would have thought by now I would be
desensitised to their screaming, but I'm not.


Some time last year there were reports that an animal sanctuary that was
taking in foxes was having a major row with its supporters because it was
considering bringing in marksmen to shoot foxes.

Why, you lying shitslug would you need marksmen to shoot a captive
animal? you cannot even make your bullshit sound convincing.

It would appear that all the weirdos who advocate the destruction of
wildlife are retards, I wonder why!

Whether they ever did or
not, I don't remember reading but like you, they had found that a lot of
ground nesting and feeding birds were fast disappearing to the foxes.

No doubt bar talk from the local village idiot, your brother no doubt?

I think you've done everything you reasonably can to deter the foxes in a
kind manner but I'm not sure the dog is your answer if the foxes have mange.
A farmer in the village where I used to live told me that some well-meaning
but misguided 'townies' had been capturing urban foxes and releasing them
into the wild; the urban foxes had given mange to their country cousins and
to some local sheepdogs, pet dogs, gundogs etc. Of course, it's treatable
but it's very uncomfortable for the dog in the meantime and it's something
your neighbours would have to be aware of.

Not to mention the foxes too, please ensure they are treated.

The only real predator foxes have is man so unless you do something like
allowing this dog into your garden, nothing else is going to make the foxes
go away.

Foxes don't "go away" village idiot, you learn to live with them, in
hundreds of years of fox hunting, foxes have never "gone away" it
simply doesn't happen, luckily there are more of us who care for
animals than dopes like you who don't.

As somebody has said up-thread, talking it over with your neighbours and
having a 'get out' clause is a good idea. Apart from the possible mange
problem, the only downside I can see for you is the risk of dog mess in your
garden and an exuberant dog doing some plant damage. However, it sounds as
if it could hardly be as bad as what you are suffering now, so if you and
the neighbours can agree a trial run, I'd say go for it.

I'd recommend moving to cloud cuckoo land, do you have any houses to
let?
