Bye Bye Fox Rescue Group

[Hercl]

They weren't declared in NSW?? WTF??

Nope.

Not protected like native species (obviously) but not declared. Just vaguely acknowledged as a pest.

Free to have as pets, no permits etc. until now.

[headspace]

When you go into Queensland there are signs advising that you cannot keep rabbits as pets. Why not the same for foxes. These people are numbnuts.

You know foxes are a problem when you start seeing them as road kill on the M2 and even on Windsor Rd Kellyville, seen 3 this week alone. My son even saw one at his school early Thursday morning and we're not living in the country. Pity I can't shoot the buggers but I'll do my best to nail them with the car if they cross my path.

I think we need to really think about our attitude when talking about any living thing... need we be looked at as ruthless and emotionless?

We should not forget that foxes while a pest are still a living thing... while culling them with your tool of choice don't forget to show appropriate emotion and respect as we need not forget by our own laws and judgements we too are more so a pest then they are and one day someone or something is going to let us know it in a similar fashion

This earth has cancer and we're it!

[brett1868]

Pajamatime,

I more consider the human race as the dominant parasite of this living planet but that's a whole different discussion.

The appropriate emotion for shooting vermin is a warm fuzzy feeling inside that you're protecting many native species from the risk of extinction by an introduced pest.

If foxes don't like being shot then they should shoot back, till then I'll nail as many as possible and do it with a smile

[SendIt]

If foxes don't like being shot then they should shoot back

Problem is they have really s**ty firearm legislation and self-defence isn't an option for acquiring a firearm

That'll only be the foxes in S.A & W.A

[Skadoo]

Good riddance to them.

Idiots...

Good riddance to them.

Idiots...

Ha ha ... not that easy.....remember the words of that PETA tard? WE WILL BREAK THE LAWS.

.......Some will carry on, others will move onto their next 'cause'.

[jennageit]

Fox Rescue group? Now I've heard it all. IDIOTS!

[cavok]

Still can't get my head around why it has taken NSW so long to resolve this issue, are their foxes different to others.

What stupid government minister and law makers enacted this stupid law and allowed foxes to be kept as pets? Guess there is more to the story, poor little innocent foxes, so cute, not a danger to our native wild life, let there be fund raising for foxes and not endangered species, idiots.

So many years wasted on this stupidity of fox rescue.

Some people appear to have no work or other life than to want to save animals that have decimated local species.

[Antie]

not a danger to our native wild life

That's what they tell people.

This was a quote from another group...

Foxes usually survive by eating fruit, berries, roots, carrion, rats, and slugs. Foxes play an important ecological role, as they “clean” the environment, and their survival often depends upon the amount of available food in their territories.

Complete ass water obviously. WTF is "cleaning" the environment meant to mean? Do they do a evening trash pickup between picking strawberries?

(Thanks to 1290 originally for sourcing the quote)

[Bourt]

I notice they acknowledge rats in the quote there.

Ok for foxes to kill animals as long as their 'icky' ones I guess.

[cavok]

It is great to hear that foxes, (but only in NSW) where partial vegetarians, eating roots, berries and fruit. I love fact thought up by some dim witted Greenie or Fox Rescue. Guess their argument did not and was not persuasive on the new government in NSW. Better luck next time. Wonder what Fox Rescue will adopt next, guess they ate looking at the argument of Cane Toads. Lol.

[jennageit]

Foxes may play an important role in the state of the environment, but only if they are a native to that environment.

Here, they are introduced, and a pest at that! FFS these people are idiots.

They've obviously never seen the damage done to lambs and ewes caught lambing, and probably believe its' global warming and cimate change that's wiping out our native species, or they blame it all on the feral cats.

I mean, it's cute to see a fox kit cross the rode, but I'd by lying if I didn't say I wasn't tempted to line it up with the old Volvo, or consider if I could shoot and kill it at that range. (No I don't shoot out of the car, I don't even have a firearm - but since getting my license, I tend to think of distance as range now - go figure).

I swear, the level of stupidity in this country is increasing by the hour.

I'd say a lot of them honestly believe it.

Hopefully a few will educate themselves by going out to 'rescue' a few foxes and lose a finger to foxie-dinner-time in the process.

Bit of education never hurt anyone... Except for their fingers...

You are so correct. however I feel that Greenies and many others can never be educated, they use their idiotic facts and fantasy thoughts as a guide to the world. These dare I say, are worse than idiots including but not limited to Ms Lee and her cohorts will never change. Again we live in hope, glad father Christmas has scratched her and her fellow idiots of his list, as Ms lee has lied and made false claims to her 2 or 3 followers, and just for being stupid.

[Norton]

No, they're not interested in education or... God forbid... The truth.

Just pushing their fuzzy feel good agenda and getting in peoples way.
