it was a fox, it came back last night just as it was getting dark (roughly 11:00 pm in the northern hemisphere where im at) and with incredible dexterity it walked along the neighbours wall, which is ornamental prefabricated concrete blocks not more than 75mm wide. I chased it away with an oar from my Canadian canoe but it had the audacity to return ...[text shortened]... ourselves are conscious of inflicting pain on others, this is where spirituality begins i think.

Originally posted by BusygirlThe problem is, that people feed the foxes in wintertime, so they become, accustomed to it, and almost, well, not domesticated, but less apprehensive when coming into housing area. I can understand why, in fact, ive done it myself, its hard not to when you see him so thin and scrawny and the ground is rock solid with ice and snow and food is scarce. Next time though , he will be getting chilli chicken, with an extra helping of fresh Scotch bonnet chillies, seeds and all, that should heat him up 😉
I was thinking owl, but it sounds like the mystery is solved.

I had a wild rabbit problem up until last night, they had a warren under my front landing.
My Black Lab likes to carry around little stuffed toys everywhere. Turns out he likes to do the same thing with rabbits - he retrieved five of them for me last night while I was working in the garage.
Originally posted by avalanchethecata dog or a cat? you think i want to go around picking up dog poo after a hound, man i have some self respect. I have never understood dog owners, especially the ones that substitute a dog for human, and talk to it and pamper it. Cats apparently have their own personalities, but as far as i have observed they are thoroughly detached and they murder mice and birds! murderers! Rabbits are the coolest, they are fluffy and cuddly and real cute, weed the garden for free and all the children love them! My friend spent two thousand American dollars bringing his cat from America, all it does is sit around messing up his house with cat hairs, what a rip off! The foxes where i live i think would take out a cat, some have gone missing!
No, the problem is a consequence of keeping vermin as pets. Eat the remaining rodent and get yourself a dog or a cat instead - fox problem solved.

Originally posted by robbie carrobiecats are great. they don't need walked, they don't need 24 hours attention, they have moods, you don't need to clean up their poo (as long as it's house trained) and they walk around like they own the place. the perfect pet.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieFoxes don't take cats. And why got to the trouble of fattening up rabbits and then feeding them to foxes? Eat them yourself, that I'd understand...

Originally posted by robbie carrobieOf course he doesn't eat them! Labs are genetically programmed to go get and bring back critters in one piece. Either they have prey drive or they don't. He does it for the same reason Peter, Bugs, Hasenfeffer, Cotton_puffy_tail_kins and the rest dug a hole in my foundation and ate my garden.

Unlike a cat, which just brings back the wounded animal and leaves it to suffer.

Originally posted by Quirkephew that a relief, what did you do with the traumatised bunnies? i hope you made reparation for their discomfort and compensated them for the inconvenience! My brother has a lab, im sure he would eat them given half a chance.
